A Cognitive Corpus-based Study of Spatial and Temporal Metaphors in Chinese
Limei Shi
Abstract
Conceptual metaphors are believed to be ubiquitous in human language and thought which may vary with different
socio-cultural contexts. This corpus-based study attempts to investigate the metaphorical extensions of space and
time in Chinese, taking three pairs of spatial terms shang(up)/xia(down), qian(front)/hou(back), zuo(left)/you(right)
and one temporal term shijian(time) as searching words for space and time respectively
Keywords
Corpus-based, Metaphorical Extension, Time, Space, Chinese.
