摘要

隱喻的形式非常多元，常常能透過一些關鍵字來搜索隱喻（Hunston 2002），當關鍵字為“是一種”結構時，被稱為類別隱喻（Shih et al. 2020）。本研究以語料庫作為研究工具，透過其他關鍵字，觀察除了“是一種”外，更豐富的構式，也將進一步分析類別隱喻中，出現頻率極高、用法固化，且隱喻成分降低的詞彙。期望透過統整類別隱喻構式及固化詞彙幫助未來華語類別隱喻研究發展。

關鍵字

類別隱喻 ； 是一種 ； 概念 ； 固化 ； 語料庫

Scholars have long recognized the importance of metaphors, but studies of KIND metaphors, a new type of metaphor, are relatively few. This study believes that KIND metaphors should have richer constructions than just the prototypical is-a-kind-of construction. Therefore, using corpus as a research tool, five other constructions of KIND metaphors were found, namely: ＂是種shi zhong＂, ＂是......的一種shi...de yizhong＂, ＂視為......的一種shi wei...de yizhong＂, ＂當作......的一種dang zuo...de yizhong＂ and ＂作為......的一種zuo wei...de yizhong＂. After finding out these five constructions from the corpus, we further compiled the similarities and differences of the syntactic structure of each construction. This study also found that many words in KIND metaphors have a commonality: some word categories appeared frequently to the extent that the usage has been frozen. For this type, the degree of metaphor decreases. This study hopes to integrate the meanings of these frozen words and provide a new perspective on KIND metaphors.
