摘    要
 海明威短篇小說《一個干凈明亮的地方》被譽為是經典之作。該小說充分展現了海明威簡潔凝練的寫作手法。文中的隱喻在蘊含深刻的主題意義之外，還與語篇的篇章連貫有著密切的關系。眾所周知，隱喻是語言學領域中重要的一個研究對象，隨著語言學與多學科之間的聯系日益緊密，隱喻在認知方面有了新的突破。
    本文著眼于隱喻的篇章認知功能，把概念隱喻和隱喻擴展特征應用到海明威小說《一個干凈明亮的地方》的文本分析中去。首先，本文將收集目前國內外學者們對于海明威短篇小說《一個干凈明亮的地方》所做的研究資料和成果，對其進行整理和歸納，列出其中一些具有代表性的研究結論。接下來綜述當前語言學在隱喻方面的研究動態，探討隱喻的工作機制，以及隱喻作為一種語篇組織構建手段如何實現語篇的語義連貫。然后分析海明威的短篇小說《一個干凈明亮的地方》，從語篇中的主要隱喻——“一個干凈明亮的地方”入手，分析該隱喻中蘊涵的幾個小隱喻“樹葉陰影”和“遲”、“黑暗”，解讀這些隱喻并且分析它們通過映射和語義的互相作用，最后實現它們所蘊含的深層含義。通過分析，讀者可以發現它們在文中串成一條主線，主導該篇小說的語篇連貫。最后文中指出《一個干凈明亮的地方》里面隱喻對于全文的語義連貫是有至關重要作用的。
    本文的目的在于運用隱喻相關理論成果探討《一個干凈明亮的地方》中隱喻在其表層意義之下，通過“源域”和“目標域”之間的映射和相互作用達成全文的結構和語義連貫。通過分析可以得出結論：作為一種語篇組織和構建手段，隱喻在該短篇小說中有核心地位。隱喻的語篇功能在分析海明威作品中所起的作用是不可忽視的。

ABSTRACT
    A Clean Well-Lighted Place is a representative of Hemingway's short stories, which has fully reflected Hemingway's shrift and concise writing style. Metaphors in the text not only contain profound meanings in theme but also have close relation with its textual coherence. After prolific investigations into metaphor over the past few years, the focus of metaphor research has shifted from lexical and syntactical levels to textual level. In terms of cognition, metaphor is a kind of thought, as well as a way of constructing text and recognizing the whole world.
    The textual cognitive function of metaphor is involved in the thesis and conceptual metaphors are employed in textual analysis of Hemingway's short story A Clean, Well-lighted Place. In the first place, relevant studies that have been done both home and abroad upon A Clean, Well-lighted Place will be collected and summarized, among which the most representative ones will be listed. In the second place, a general review on studies of metaphor will be made and discussion about its mechanism and vital function in achieving textual coherence will be brought forth and presented in detail. In the third place, great attention will be paid to metaphor A CLEAN, WELL-LIGHTED PLACE, moreover, some other important elements in the basic metaphor, such as THE SHADOW OF LEAVES, LATE and DARK. By discussing their metaphorical features and their textual function, their deep meanings are explored. A CLEAN, WELL-LIGHTED PLACE, the core of extended metaphors in the story serves as an implied line that connects the whole text and plays an indispensable role in accomplishing the textual coherence in A Clean, Well-lighted Place.
    The purpose of this thesis is to apply the contemporary theory of metaphor to analyze the coherent functions of metaphors in A Clean, Well-lighted Place. Based on patient analysis, the conclusion is that metaphor, as a means of constructing a text, occupies a chief position in the short story. Therefore, it is of great significance in understanding and investigating into Hemingway's works.
