In this study, we are concerned with verbs that typically refer to actions of animals but are instead used to describe those of humans,especially sound-emission verbs that refer to cries or onomatopoeia related to cats. This paper takes a text-based approach in order to examine examples in which feline sound-emission or onomatopoeic verbs are metaphorically used in authentic discourse in English. It also considers how these verbs are semantically extended from onomatopoeic meanings to other meanings that refer to human actions from a cognitive linguistic perspective. In conclusion, there are two types of animal metaphors involved in feline onomatopoeic verbs: metaphor based on similarity and metaphor from metonymy based on contiguity and similarity between the source domain CAT and the target domain HUMAN., 本稿では,字義通りにはネコの行為を表す動詞,特にネコの鳴き声を表すオノマトペを意味する擬声語動詞に着目し,それらの動詞がヒトの行為を表す語義へとどのように意味的に拡張するのかについて,英語の具体例を通して認知言語学的観点から考察する。これらの動詞は,ヒトの行為の中でもとりわけ発話と関連が深い比喩義へと写像されるが,その背景には,ネコの発する特有の鳴き声とそれに伴う感情と,ヒトの発する声とそれに伴う様態や感情との間の類似性が写像を支えていると考えられる。結論として,ネコに関する擬声語動詞はメタファーとメトニミーの連続性の中に複雑に位置するものであり,起点領域(ネコ)と目標領域(ヒト)の類似性に基づくメタファーと,同じく近接性と類似性に基づくメトニミーからのメタファーの2つのタイプがあることを主張する。}, pages = {11--20}, title = {Metaphorical Use of Feline Onomatopoeic Verbs}, year = {2020} }
