The language of scents: A corpus-based study of Chinese perfume descriptions
Olfaction is one of the least explored senses in research, partly due to the difficulty of expressing olfactory experiences through language. While most studies on odor descriptions focus on English-language data, there is limited research on how odors are described in Chinese, particularly in large-scale, corpus-based studies. This study aims to explore the vocabulary and patterns used by Chinese speakers to describe scents. We analyzed 29,372 r…
From perception to concept: A cross-cultural study of olfactory abstract concepts in Mandarin Chinese
Knowledge concepts are acquired through both sensory and language-based experiences. Among these, olfactory abstraction is particularly challenging and often neglected in conceptual research. Mandarin Chinese, spoken by hundreds of millions, has a rich olfactory lexicon. This study explored olfactory abstract concepts from a cross-cultural perspective. We recruited 44 Han and 32 Uyghur participants to complete three experiments: a verbal fluency …
Neural mechanisms of embodied semantic processing in Chinese olfactory metaphors
Embodied semantics proposes that language comprehension involves sensorimotor reactivations, yet the extent of this in olfactory language remains unclear, particularly for Chinese metaphorical expressions. This study investigated the neural mechanisms of literal and metaphorical olfactory language processing in Chinese. Twenty-four native Mandarin speakers underwent fMRI scanning while silently reading sentences with literal and metaphorical olfa…
