Abstract:

This book describes the emergence of new meanings in two languages, English
and Chinese. Drawing on a corpus methodology, it presents metaphors as a basic
instrument of thinking and cognition studies from a conceptual metaphor
perspective, probing the compositional potentiality of “light” in English and
Chinese, and highlighting the generative mechanism for word composition
through metaphorization.

The monograph includes detailed discussions of linguistic corpus construction,
linguistic manifestations of metaphorization, the main motivation for the
formation of metaphorical meanings, and socio-cultural influence in different
languages. It expands the scope of previous studies and shows how conceptual
metaphor studies can benefit from the use of a corpus methodology by providing
not just a description, but an explanation, of how word composition develops.
This book will be of interest to students and researchers interested in
metaphor and intercultural studies, as well as cognitive linguistics, corpus
linguistics and contrastive studies in English and Chinese.
