類似した音を反復する言語表現は、意味を背景化し、形式を前景化するという認知的特性をもつ。本論文では、音反復のレトリックを、同じ語を異なる意味で反復する場合、類似した音をもつ異なる語を近接させる場合、音の類似性を作り出すためにもじりを使用する場合に分けて考察した。その結果、三者のスキーマは、認知的な捉え方のゆるやかな共通性にもとづいて、ネットワーク状の関係構造をもつことが分かった。

We often engage in wordplay in daily conversations, but there are not so many studies on it in linguistics. The main target of linguistics has always been grammar, and studies of figurative langage including wordplay are never satisfactory. The objective of this paper is a cognitive analysis of three kinds of wordplay, antanaclasis, paronomasia and `a-peu-pr´es, in the theoretical background of Cognitive Grammar. Antanaclasis is defined as repetition of same word in diferrent senses, paronomasia as repetition of same sound in diferrent words, and `a-peu-pr´es as generation of sound simirality with a parody. The main results of this paper are the followings: (i) The cognitive processing of simirality is observed not only in semantic domain but also in phonological domain, and these processes have some common character. (ii) Metaphor is related to wordplay. (iii) In the cognitive process of wordplay, the phonological pole of a repetitive word is foregrounded, and its semantic pole is relatively backgrounded. (iv) Antanaclasis is related to misunderstanding or finding fault. (v) Antanaclasis can reanalyze an idiomatic phrase as a whole into word level components. (vi) Paronomasia can shorten the psychological distance between words which have smilar phonological structure. (vii) Cognition of paronomasia can be cancelld pragmatically. (viii) On the other hand, cognition of `a-peu-pr´es cannot be cancelled pragmatically. (ix) These three rhetorics are not discrete but continuous. (x) Wordplay can relieve a word from its ordinary semantic relation, and enable the sound to function as conceptual content
