The gender-specific bidirectional relations between chronic diseases and total bilirubin/urea in the elderly population
Aging is accompanied by changes in physiology over time, which remains the largest risk of chronic diseases. The aim of this study was to explore the gender-specific bidirectional relations between the risk of chronic diseases and serum traits in a 3-year longitudinal study. A hierarchical non-linear model with random effects was used to assess the temporal patterns of anthropometric and serum traits from 2017 to 2019 among 2,338 participants. To…
Environmental performance evaluation of enterprises using internal resource loss and external environmental damage costs
Environmental performance evaluation is an essential part of environmental management—however, current methods of environmental performance overlook efficiencies in individual operational processes. Environmental pollutant waste not only causes internal resource loss but also leads to external environmental damage through emissions and generation of other byproducts, and these dual factors are critical in environmental performance evaluation. Thi…

Figurative Language
This entry presents a cognitive linguistic view of figurative language, with a focus on conceptual metaphor theory (CMT), which distinguishes between conceptual and linguistic metaphors. Conceptual metaphors are concepts linked by metaphorical mappings in our conceptual systems whereas linguistic metaphors manifest metaphorical conceptual mappings in our language. Conceptual metaphors also form hierarchical systems, with primary metaphors at a hi…

Social engagement significantly improved the self-rated health of the elderly and reduced mental distress, but had no effe…
Primary metaphors
This is a linguistic study of two primary metaphors with the same target-domain concept, “IMPORTANCE IS SIZE” and “IMPORTANCE IS WEIGHT,” in English and Chinese. It is suggested that these two primary metaphors are derived from the OBJECT image schema, abstracted from our embodied, sensorimotor experience, especially our visual and tactile perception, in dealing with physical objects in everyday life. The study focuses on size and weight adjectiv…

Spatial Subsystem of Moral Metaphors
Cognitive semantic studies have shown that our conceptualization of morality is at least partially metaphorical and that our moral cognition is grounded in some fundamental contrastive categories of our embodied experience in the physical environment. It is argued that our moral cognition is built on a moral metaphor system. Within the framework of conceptual metaphor theory, this study aims to examine the spatial subsystem of moral metaphors in …
Spatial Metaphors for Morality
This study aims to contribute to the research on spatial metaphors for morality from the perspective of Chinese. It outlines the linguistic patterns in Chinese that manifest the putative underlying spatial subsystem of moral metaphors, which can be summarized by a central metaphor “MORALITY IS SPATIALITY.” In doing so, it focuses on 17 spatial words that instantiate in real-life discourses five pairs of moral–spatial metaphors in their positive a…

A Decompositional Approach to Metaphorical Compound Analysis
This article applies a decompositional approach to analyzing the metaphorical structure of a China Central Television (CCTV) Olympics commercial as a multimodal discourse from the perspective of cognitive semantics. The Beijing 2008 Olympics' motto was “One World, One Dream,” which highlights the notion of the world as a “global village.” The commercial converges on this motto with a metaphorical imagery of a bird's nest being built by birds from…
Beijing Olympics and Beijing opera
This paper is a cognitive semantic analysis of a CCTV educational commercial, which is one of a series designed and produced in preparation for, and in celebration of, the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

A Poetics of 'Secretaries of Nature
Re-examining what twentieth-century sinologists dismissed as Pound's 'idiosyncratic' interpretation of Chinese written characters, this article finds a significant connection between Pound's etymological reading of written Chinese and his claim to being one of the 'secretaries of nature'. Pound's insistence on seeing a connection between Chinese written words and things and relations in the physical world offers ecocritics a much needed balance b…

Heart and Cognition in Ancient Chinese Philosophy
Following the theory of conceptual metaphor in cognitive linguistics, this paper studies a predominant conceptual metaphor in the understanding of the heart in ancient Chinese philosophy: THE HEART IS THE RULER OF THE BODY. The most important conceptual mapping of this metaphor consists in the perceived correspondence between the mental power of the heart and the political power of the ruler. The Chinese heart is traditionally regarded as the org…

Metaphorical Expressions of Anger and Happiness in English and Chinese
This article presents a comparative study of metaphorical expressions of anger and happiness in English and Chinese. It demonstrates that English and Chinese share the same central conceptual metaphor "ANGER IS HEAT," which then breaks into two sub-versions in both languages. Whereas English has selected "FIRE" and "FLUID" metaphors, Chinese uses "FIRE" and "GAS" for the same purpose. Similarly, both English and Chinese share the "UP," "LIGHT," a…
Thoreau's Critique of the American Pastoral in A Week
This essay questions a critical consensus about Thoreau's first book, A Week on the Concord an Merrimack Rivers, as a pastoral elegy for his brother and best friend, John.

Thoreau re-creates through description and narration the appear…
The Contemporary Theory of Metaphor
This comparative study of Chinese and English metaphor contributes to the search for metaphoric universals by placing the contemporary theory of metaphor in a broad cross-linguistic and cross-cultural perspective. The author explores to what degree abstract reasoning is metaphorical and which conceptual metaphors are culture specific, wide spread or universal in a cognitive and cultural context. The empirical studies presented reinforce the view …

What does our face mean to us
This study is a semantic analysis of metonymic and metaphoric expressions involving body-part terms for the face in Chinese. These expressions are discussed regarding four perceived roles of face, namely, as highlight of appearance and look, as indicator of emotion and character, as focus of interaction and relationship, and as locus of dignity and prestige. It is argued that the figurative extensions are based on some biological facts about our …
Body and emotion

It focuses on conventionalized expressions in Chinese, namely compounds and idioms, which contain body-part terms. The body-part terms are divided into two classes: those denoting external body parts and those denoting internal body parts or organs. It is found that, with a few exceptions, the expressions involving external body parts are o…
Metaphor, Body, and Culture
According to the theory of internal organs in traditional Chinese medicine, the gallbladder has the function of making judgments and decisions in mental processes and activities, and it also determines one's degree of courage. This culturally constructed medical characterization of the gallbladder forms the base of the cultural model for the concept of courage. In the core of this cultural model is a pair of conceptual metaphors: (a) "GALLBLADDER…

Metaphor from Body and Culture
Culture, Body, and Language
One of the central themes in cognitive linguistics is the uniquely human development of some higher potential called the "mind" and, more particularly, the intertwining of body and mind, which has come to be known as embodiment. Several books and volumes have explored this theme in length. However, the interaction between culture, body and language has not received the due attention that it deserves. Naturally, any serious exploration of the inte…
