隱喻與範疇化的關係是包括哲學、邏輯學、語言學、認知科學等在內的眾多學科的重要課題。隱喻在範疇擴展中的作用是當代體驗哲學以及以此為哲學基礎的認知語言學的核心議題之一。認知語言學研究表明隱喻在範疇化中的作用對回答隱喻為什麼可能以及範疇動態轉化機制這兩個理論問題具有重要意義。
本研究將隱喻中本體和喻體在範疇層級中的轉化過程定義為隱喻性範疇化過程。以往認知語言學研究對該轉化過程多是基於具體語言的描述分析，對其具體的實現機制並未做進一步深入系統的研究，因此仍缺乏一個較全面系統的理論框架。本書以類比理論中的結構映射理論和抽象圖式歸納理論為理論分析框架，通過心理語言學研究範式考察隱喻的本體和喻體跨越常規範疇進入新的共屬範疇的實現過程的認知機制，以期探索性地為隱喻性範疇化的實現機制提供一個較具解釋力的心理語言學模型。
