生态话语的刻意隐喻

A Study on the Deliberate Metaphors in Ecological Discourse

摘要: 本文立足生态话语与刻意隐喻的交叉视角，以IPCC权威报告为语料，引入生态语言学分析路径，系统探讨刻意隐喻在重要生态话语中的深层运作逻辑。研究发现，IPCC报告通过“临界点”“机会之窗”“碳预算”“路径”等刻意隐喻，编织出“危机逼近–时间紧迫–目标量化–路径可选”的技术治理叙事；该叙事预设了以控制为导向的“控制–被控”关系模式；从生态哲学观审视，这一话语体系在提升治理可操作性的同时，也存在简化生态复杂性、弱化公平正义议题等局限。本研究进一步指出，上述隐喻策略在特定交际语境下具有策略合理性，其简化性与动员效力之间存在辩证关系。同时，本研究尝试将“和谐共生”等替代性框架转化为具体可操作的话语策略建议。本研究推动了相关理论融合，为生态话语隐喻分析提供了可操作路径。

Abstract: From the interdisciplinary perspective of ecological discourse and deliberate metaphor, this study takes authoritative IPCC reports as its corpus and introduces an ecolinguistic analytical pathway to systematically explore the deep operational logic of deliberate metaphors in key ecological discourse. The findings reveal that through deliberate metaphors such as “tipping point”, “window of opportunity”, “carbon budget”, and “pathways”, the IPCC report weaves a techno-governance narrative of “crisis approaching-time pressing-target quantified-pathways selectable”. This narrative presupposes a “control-oriented” relational model. Viewed through the lens of ecosophy, this discourse system, while enhancing the operability of ecological governance, also presents limitations such as simplifying ecological complexity and weakening issues of fairness and justice. This study further argues that the strategic use of these metaphors carries context-specific rationality, and that their simplifying function must be understood in dialectical tension with their mobilizing power. It also attempts to translate alternative frameworks such as “harmonious coexistence” into concrete and actionable discursive strategies. This study advances the integration of relevant theories and provides an operable pathway for metaphor analysis in ecological discourse.
