Yi Sun

A Multidimensional and Cross-Spherical Study of Cognitive Metaphorology

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book aims to illustrate and explain the Cognitive Metaphorology from experiential and cultural perspectives and highlights two prominent features of cognitive metaphor: multidimensionality and cross-sphere application. This book demonstrates that embodied experience is the shared philosophical basis of commonalities underlying the similarities in these metaphors across Chinese and English; national and cultural factors introduce variations in metaphors between the two languages. The different cultural aspects revealed through metaphors related to human body parts, emotions, senses, time, colors, and animals may appeal to academic readers interested in language studies or diverse cultures.
