A Study on the Polysemy of Chinese"Tou"from the Perspective of the Experiential View
The experiential view is the philosophical foundation of Cognitive Linguistics,which advo-cates the subjective and objective interactive approach to meaning analysis and opposes purely objective de-scription of meaning explanation,based on the interactive assumption that meaning originates from the in-tegration of objective experience and subjective cognition.The semantic extension of Chinese"tou"is mo-tivated by conceptual metaphor,metonymy,and the synergistic driving force of both metaphorical and metonymic interaction.Based on these findings,the polysemous extension of Chinese"tou"strongly con-firms the plausibility of non-arbitrary stance in meaning extension.Thus,a meaning-based approach to the teaching concept,teaching methods and due strategies of vocabularies'acquisition in second language or teaching Chinese language as a foreign are favorably suggested.
