目标域“COMPANY”的多个始源域的映射

“COMPANY”是从事商务经济活动的基本载体，以“COMPANY”为目标域，以现实商务经济英语语料为基础，探讨了“机器、人、植物和战争”等始源域中具体的、熟知的概念图式知识与目标域“公司”中公司的构成、公司运行过程中的行为、公司业务成长、产品销售策略等抽象内容之间是如何实现映射的。研究表明，一个目标域可以有多个始源域的映射现象。

Corpus- based mappings onto target domain ＂COMPANY＂ from different source domains

Company is a basic organization of business activity. Based on business English language examples, this paper explores dif- ferent mappings onto the target domain of COMPANY from the source domains of MACHINE, PERSON, PLANT and WAR. Our re- search shows that the different features of machine, person, plant and war can be mapped onto the composition of a company, the opera- tional behavior of a company, the business development of a company, and the business strategy of a company, etc. Our findings show that one target domain may have numerous mapping systems from different source domains.
