This paper lays out a formulation of the psychoanalytical contribution to linguistic metaphor theory. The author's main argument is that psychoanalysis can help enrich and shed light on linguistic metaphor theories, since these have focused on the cognitive aspect, to the exclusion of the role played by affect. Based on the tight link between metaphor and symbol - both configurations of figurative language - the author shall apply ideas sourced from some of the key psychoanalytic symbolization theories, focusing in particular on Klein, Winnicott, and Ogden. The course of exploration will serve to trace the unconscious emotional aspects that participate in the metaphor's mechanism, just as they participate in the symbol's workings. The study leads to the main conclusion that the intersubjective transitional space is of substantial importance to metaphor's constitution, particularly in regard to novel metaphors. Expanding the understanding of metaphor's modus operandi has important implications in conceptual clarification and for an in-depth analytical work, and is of immense significance when it comes to analytical work with patients who suffer impairment of their metaphoric ability.
本文阐述了精神分析对语言隐喻理论的贡献。作者的主要观点是，精神分析有助于丰富语言隐喻理论并为其提供启示，因为这些理论一直聚焦于认知层面，而忽略了情感所起的作用。基于隐喻与象征（二者皆为比喻性语言的结构）之间的紧密联系，作者将运用源自一些关键精神分析象征化理论的观点，尤其关注克莱因、温尼科特和奥格登的理论。探索过程将有助于追溯参与隐喻机制的无意识情感层面，就如同它们参与象征的运作一样。该研究得出的主要结论是，主体间过渡空间对隐喻的构成至关重要，特别是对于新颖隐喻而言。拓展对隐喻运作方式的理解在概念澄清和深入分析工作方面具有重要意义，并且在对隐喻能力受损患者进行分析工作时具有巨大价值。
