The Study on Cognitive Metaphor of Chinese Word Group"Brain"
In traditional linguistic research,metaphor and metonymy are seen as rhetorical devices,a vari-ation on conventional language.This article mainly utilizes some theories of cognitive linguistics to study the hot topic of human body metaphor in cognitive linguistics through a combination of description and analysis,taking the Chinese"brain"word group as an example.On the basis of combining corpora and dictionaries,this study conducts an in-depth analysis of the metaphorical cognitive style of Chinese"brain"word groups,seeking the motivation for word formation.It is also hoped that this study can be helpful for teaching Chinese as a foreign language,translation studies,vocabulary teaching,and cross-cul-tural communication.
