中英文动物词语褒贬意义对比分析

摘要

在人类历史发展的漫长进程中，动物一直与人类保持着密切的联系，并对人类的生存和发展产生深远的影响，这种亲密无间的关系使得人类对动物产生了喜爱，同情，厌恶或是恐惧的情感。

人们常常借动物寄托和表达人类的情感。

许多动物已经在人们的思维中形成某种象征，并且体现在语言中。

然而，由于历史、地理和宗教等因素的影响，具有丰富内涵的动物词汇使人们在中西文化交际中产生误解。

本论文以GeoffreyLeech语义理论做为理论基础，本文试图对动物词语的褒贬意义进行对比研究。

本论文采用了对比分析的方法，来研究英汉动物词汇的异同，以寻求一个目的:

能够完全了解一个动物词语所承载的褒贬意义，以便顺利的进行跨文化交际，最后，作者对英语学习中如何提高英语学习者的交际能力提出些建议。

关键词：

动物词汇、褒贬意义、文化内涵、跨文化交际
