YinYang Dynamics of Metaphoricity (Yydm) in Discourse
This paper presents the YinYang Dynamics of Metaphoricity (YYDM) in discourse, addressing several issues in the study of dynamic metaphor: (1) a lack of attention to gradable and/or dynamic metaphoricity of verbal metaphors in (written) texts, (2) biases toward focusing on either activation of a given source domain or on trajectory of vehicle terms in short conversations, and (3) insufficient elaboration and visualization of metaphoricity as a sp…
A comparative study of trade metaphors across political genres during the U.S.-China trade war
Currently, applied metaphor analysis often focuses on metaphor use in a particular political genre of a single country, overlooking how metaphors legitimize dominant political ideologies across different political genres and different countries. This paper addresses this gap by proposing an innovative categorization of metaphorical functions to systematically examine how trade metaphors are used across three underexplored political genres to legi…
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…
Continuous quality evaluation of the Asanté rapid test for recent infection for robust kit lot quality verification
The Sedia Biosciences Asanté rapid test for recent infection (RTRI) can identify HIV infections and characterize HIV-1 as recent or long-term infection via the positive verification (V) line and long-term line (LT) line, respectively. Tracking with Recency Assays to Control the Epidemic (TRACE) program uses RTRI assays. Successful implementation of TRACE requires high-quality test performance. The goal of this study is to evaluate the additional …
