本研究所关注的“隐喻”是具备特殊话语意义的特殊隐喻类型。从外交复合关系层 面研究隐喻，涉及多个外交行为体及其国家利益的隐喻是一种政治学语义的话语，其建 构属于传递外交关系讯息与内涵意义的政治传播活动。隐喻在建构主义域内被深化为引 导概念形成的认知工具，形成外交复合关系研究中一个独特的符号学视角。本研究以韩 国KBS电视台2015年播出的《超级中国》（Super China ）纪录片为案例，使用文本分析 法及话语分析工具，重点关注文本中形成的“韩国-美国-中国”这组外交复合关系的隐 喻建构，挖掘其隐含的话语框架、话语焦点与内涵意义，以及国家间权力关系与身份定 位。案例分析显示，由于韩国公众对美国形象而非中国形象业已形成充分的先验认知， 韩国话语生产者将美国形象主观建构成中国形象的隐喻。一国政府通过文本中外交复合 关系的隐喻建构，向本国公众传递关于目标国及多边关系的外交政策信息,促使公众认知 与政府的外交政策导向保持一致性与连贯性。从外交决策者的隐喻建构方面看，通过隐 喻建构“制造”有特殊语义的联想关系，达到“制造”社会共识、国家认同和国家利益 共同体的政治传播意图，从而更大程度地实施外交政策和实现国家利益。从文本分析者 的隐喻解构方面看，深入话语生产者的社会文化语境去解构文本隐喻，可以更准确地把 握其国家利益，更清晰地预判其多边外交的政策趋势。

This research focuses on a special type of metaphor that has a special course meaning. From the level of the composite relationship of diplomacy, this type of metaphor includes composite diplomatic actor' which is a kind of political course, and its construction is a political communication action which transfers diplomatic information and connotative meaning. Metaphor has been deepening as the cognitive tool, which leads the formation of one concept in the domain of Constructivism and becomes an unique semiotics perspective in the study of the composite relationship of diplomacy. This study is based on the case of the documentary Super China broadcast on KBS in 2015, using the text analysis method and discourse analysis tools, focusing on the composite relationship of diplomacy in "South Korea - America - China" formed in the text. In this way, the underlying framework and focus of discourse, the connotative meaning, the powers relationship among countries and the position of countries’ status will be explored. Through the construction of metaphor in the text, one state’s government can convey the information of foreign policy about target countries and multilateral relations to domestic people, prompting the consistency and continuity between public cognition and government policies. From the metaphor construction point of view of the diplomatic policy decision-makers, they may make a series of special association relations to construct metaphor, for attaining social consensus national identity and national interests community. From the metaphor deconstruction point of view of text analysis, the metaphor deconstruction through course maker’s socio-cultural context may understand their nation interests more accurately and forecast their multilateral diplomatic policy more clearly.
