近年來，認同與語言符號之間的關係愈來愈受到矚目，認同被視 爲内在於再現系統中，是透過語言互動所產生的象徵實體。本文即是 依循著此脈絡，以1998年柯林頓發表的「新三不政策」所引起的認同 風波爲例，討論認同塑造之語言機制的隱喻運作。 研究結果發現，同一個隱喻概念系統下之載具，會發生相互串連 的現象，進一步建構共享的符號眞實，並產生布希亞所説的符號内爆 現象。除此之外，隱喻是最簡單直接、不須予以合理解釋論述的方 式，讓人們在不經意的情況下，藉由想像性的連接，將自己過往的經 驗賦予在新的事物狀態之上；在這個賦予的過程中，主體的認同位置 隨著共同文化背景加以定泊。語言運作之其他切點，如敘事結構與閲 聽人之文化養成等，亦共同參與影響認同位置的形塑，這些可以作爲 未來研究繼績探討的方向。

Recently many studies explored the relationship between identity and linguistic mechanism. They handled identities as constituted within representation, the symbolic entity through linguistic exchange and social performances. This article tried to research ’metaphor’，one and if not the most important mechanism of language in molding identity. There are two major points in this study: (1) The vehicles of metaphor "chain out" when molding identity. Then these metaphors would create a different symbolic reality; (2) metaphor is the simplest way that doesn^ need any rationale to let us sort out the former images, especially those preferred images in interpreting new, unfamiliar and sometimes strange experiences. Moreover, the narrative of narrative of texts and culture cultivation of audiences will mold identities with metaphors together. Those are issues worthy of further observation and discussion.
