Abstract:

What is cultural semantics? How to define and analyze it in the
lexicon of modern Chinese?
This book outlines the development and research results of cultural
semantic theory, and then proposes the distinction between two types
of cultural semantics at the synchronic level: conceptual gap items
and items with a cultural meaning. It provides criteria for
identifying these items by using detailed examples from theory and
application. Finally, the two types of cultural semantics are applied
to the case of modern Chinese. The criteria proposed for determining
the Chinese cultural semantics apply not only to this, but also to
other languages. Therefore, this book offers an operational basis for
further studies of cultural semantics in academia.
