This book, which is germinated from doctoral dissertation completed in Shanghai Jiaotong University in 2008, is the result of my constant pursuit of theoretical research on Samuel Beckett's Absurd Plays. Volumous studies on Beckett's plays have been conducted in the past decades, from perspectives such as politics, philosophy, aesthetics, deconstructuralism, postmodernism, postconolism, feminism and reader reception, and so on. However, the study of metaphors in Beckett's plays, by and large, has been neglected. Accordingly, this book studies metaphors by basing on Beckett's dramatic texts and analyzing them under multiple metaphorical theories from the cognitive perspective.

It has developed powerful new theories about how the mind works, thanks in part to remarkable advances in neuroscience (Damasiol 1994). Much of the momentum behind preconceptions of the mind also has come from researchers in linguistics confronting old problems of how meaning arises (Lakoff and Johnson 1999). Theories built on the propositional model turned out to obscure such everyday phenomenon as polysemy, metaphor, analogy, irony and counterfactuals in language-the very field it is supposed to illustrate (Lakoff and Johnson 1980, Gibbs 1994). At the same time, psychologists and anthropologists began to show how the organization of knowledge at individual and societal levels determines and facilitates the formation of meaning (Dandridge 1984, Blasko and Connine 1993, Strauss and Quinn 1997). Converging evidence from these several fields shifted toward the radically new view that meaning is constructed by a mind whose work is systematically constructed by our very human experience in and of reality (Johnson 1987). These cognitive theories show how forms of communication serve as catalysts to make meaning operations including conceptual metaphor, metonymy, categorization, framing, and conceptual blending. In short, meaning is not something we simply find but something we fashion. Fauconnier and Tamer (2002) in particular propose a theory of conceptual integration that effectively explains how the inmate diversity of meaning emerges systematically from a small set of cognitive operations and how musical structure prompts the construction of meaning. We have seen cognitivism's status in music theoretic discourse. In addition, Eduard Hans lick's (1986) formalist ideology. ……
在过去的几十年里,贝克特戏剧的研究非常广泛。研究视角从政治、到哲学、美学、结构主义、后现代主义、后殖民主义、女性主义以及读者接受理论等等。但是,很少有人对贝克特戏剧中的隐喻进行研究。为此,黄立华编著的《贝克特戏剧文本中隐喻的认知研究》从认知的视角对贝克特戏剧中的隐喻进行了研究。
