Abstract:	童話是孩童認識世界一個重要開端，無論是中西方的小孩在童年時候都聽過童話。然而童話故事中的動物，被賦予的義意衍生在語言上的使用是否有相對的關連性？當大人在說這些故事時，有可能完全沒有意識的到故事中動物代表的意涵，只是複製小時候上一代對他們說的故事如實流傳下去而已。本研究主要要探討童話故事對於動物詞的影響。為了証實動物詞的比喻義可能源自於童話故事，本論文將研究有出現動物的故事文本，找出該動物在故事中扮演角色特性，再與日常用語中動物比喻的語意進行比對，觀察動物詞的比喻義是否與故事的角色特性吻合。結論發現，故事中的動物角色特性與動物詞的比喻義對應性很高。此外，透過中西文化對比，我們發現不同文化若賦予相同動物不同的角色特性，該動物詞也會因此有不同的比喻義，這也說明了童話故事對於動物詞的比喻義是有影響的。 Fairy tales are a crucial starting point for children to understand the world. Fairy tales are told to children in both the West and the Sinophone world during their childhood. But is there a correlation between the animals in fairy tales and the use of the language derived from the meaning ascribed to these animals? It’s possible that adults who narrate these stories are simply repeating what older generations told them when they were children and passed down verbatim without realizing the significance of the animals in the tales.This study focuses on the effect of fairy tales on animal expressions. In order to demonstrate that the metaphorical meanings of animal expressions may have originated in fairy tales, this thesis will examine the texts of stories containing animals, determine the animals’ characters in the stories, and then compare them with the semantic meanings of figurative animal expressions in everyday language to determine if the figurative meanings of animal expressions correspond to the animals’ characters in the stories. In conclusion, it was discovered that the characteristics of the animal characters in the stories corresponded well with the figurative meanings of the animal expressions. Moreover, by comparing Sinophone and Western cultures, we discover that if different cultures assign different roles and characteristics to the same animal, the animal expressions will have distinct figurative meanings. This further explains the impact of fairy tales on the figurative meanings of animal expressions.
