18、thesis on pragmatic metaphor,The word metaphor is from the ancient Greek verb metapherein,and means,“to carry over,transfer”.In rhetoric,metaphor is a trope in which one thing is spoken of as if it were some other thing.In natural language,metaphor is so ubiquitous that scholars,who study language a
19、nd cognition,have come to recognize that no understanding of language is complete without an adequate account of metaphor.These metaphors provide expressions for experiences and concepts for which literal language seems insufficient,thereby increasing the range of articulation possible within the la
20、nguage.,Metaphor has been studied in many disciplines and from many perspectives since Aristotle.Generally speaking,metaphor has been studied mainly at the lexical level of the language.Since the 1980s,scholars have started to examine the phenomenon at the grammatical level,i.e.“grammatical metaphor
21、”(Halliday,1994).Halliday has the comment:“There is a strong grammatical element in rhetorical transference;and once we have recognized this we find that there is also such a thing as grammatical metaphor,where the variation is essentially in the grammatical forms although often entailing some lexic
22、al variation as well”(1994:341-342).,The continuation of metaphors through the ages,across cultures and pervasive existence at different levels of language indicates that the metaphorical use of language is not limited to the lexical or grammatical level and is a multi-level phenomenon in language c
23、ommunication.The present paper attempts to apply recent theories of linguistics,systemic functional linguistics in particular,to the analysis of metaphorical use of language at the pragmatical level,i.e.“pragmatic metaphor”.The paper will first define“pragmatic metaphor”and then examine two major ki

25、anization of an introduction,元认知策略是为了成功学习一门语言而采用的管理步骤，包括选择注意、计划与安排、评价（Oxford 1990:20）。这种自我管理策略对学习成绩的提高和自主学习的培养起着非常重要的作用。而对外语学习者进行元认知策略培训被认为是提高策略使用水平、自主学习能力和学习成绩的有效途径（OMalley&Chamot 1990：184-86）。,在过去的二十年里，国内外对于元认知策略的研究日益增多，其中著名研究者有Chamot(1987)，OMalley&Chamot(1990)，Oxford(1990)，Wenden(1991,1999)，Green
26、&Oxford(1995)，Dreyer&Oxford(1996)，Park 1997)，文秋芳(1996)，文秋芳和王海啸(1996)，李炯英(2002)，王笃勤(2002)，刘彗君(2004)。这些研究结果不尽相同，但基本都认为学习成功者和不成功者之间的元认知策略使用存在差异且该策略与学习成绩具有相关性。,尽管成就斐然，但与其他学习策略的研究相比较，元认知策略的研究仍处于较低的水平，而对外语学习者的元认知策略培训则更为少见，进行过培训研究的主要有下列学者：OMalley&Chamot(1990)，Oxford(1990)，Wenden(1991)，Weaver&Cohen(1997)，Co

28、troduction),Sample 2The organization of an introduction,Jane Eyre is the masterpiece of Charlotte Bronte.Published in 1847,the novel took the general reading public by storm with its superficial-ly romantic love story combined with a tragic tale of the madwoman locked in the attic.From then on,it ha
29、s received extensive comments.,Nevertheless,the image of madwoman,Bertha Mason is neglected by most of the scholars for a long time while the image of Jane,a self-respecting,decisive,young woman who struggles for independence and claims equal treatment and rights from the male-dominated society is t
30、he focus of the public comments and criticism.Bertha Mason in Jane Eyre is the madwoman being locked in the attic in Thornfield.All we learn about her is from Rochesters account.She has been deprived of the right and opportunity to speak for and defend herself.,However in recent years,under the impe
31、tus of the feminist movement and criticism,the image of madwoman in Jane Eyre has come to arouse more and more interest and atten-tion.Some critics hold that the image of madwoman serves only as accessories in pushing forward the plot;some see it as a proof that the novel Jane Eyre bears some charac
32、teristics of the Gothic Novel;some advise that this madwoman is the“animal”aspects of womanhood;some even put forward that the madwoman is another suppressed Jane Eyre.The analysis of this madwoman never comes to an end.,This paper will focus on this mysterious and pitiful madwoman aiming to show th

34、d figure in the novel.She has her own limitations.And her own limitations,to some extent,cause her failure in struggling for self-recognition.So this paper not only focuses on Bertha Masons miserable position and desperate struggles but also on her limitations.,The Components of the Introduction1.a
