The diachronic and cross-linguistic use of trade metaphors in U.S.-China governmental discourse
This article compares diachronic and cross-linguistic uses of source domains for framing the target domain of trade in governmental discourses under the presidencies of Bill Clinton, Jiang Zemin, Donald Trump, and Xi Jinping. Taking a socio-cognitive approach, we examine trade metaphor use across time periods (1993–1997 vs. 2017–2021) and languages (American English vs. Mandarin Chinese) in nationally dominant discourses. At the micro-level of tr…

How ‘Real’ Are Time and Space in Politically Motivated Worldviews
Given that we all live in the same world, how is it that we can have such very different worldviews?

This paper discusses why and how worldviews can unfold from a schematic rationale that is grounded in ‘the primacy of spatial cognition’ in perception, thought patterns and their presentations in language. Although worldview fram…
Introduction for the Special Issue on Space, Time and Evaluation in Ideological Discourse
In the last decade, a cognitive school has begun to emerge in critical discourse analysis (CDA). Based in cognitive linguistics, this approach sees language as providing a set of indexical prompts for jointly performing a range of conceptual operations constitutive of meaning (Hart, 2010). This view of language argues that the semiotic processes involved in language rely on more general cognitive principles and processes that also function in dom…
From Text to Political Positions
From Text to Political Positions addresses cross-disciplinary innovation in political text analysis for party positioning. Drawing on political science, computational methods and discourse analysis, it presents a diverse collection of analytical models including pure quantitative and qualitative approaches. By bringing together the prevailing text-analysis methods from each discipline the volume aims to alert researchers to new and exciting possi…
