Abstract | The Chinese language contains a set of mind-sets that differ from those in English. Such differences between languages require mind-set conversion in cross-cultural communication. In applying cognitive linguistic theories to examining cross-cultural communication cases, this book explores cognitive mind-sets in English and Chinese as well as the process of converting them from one language to another. I focuses on the principles by which a language selects its cognitive perspective based on its cultural convention, perception, and the conventional ways of representation of the world. In analyzing the linguistic rules and culturally driven cognitive motivation through an issue-driven and case study approach, this book helps readers understand better the cross-cultural cognitive motivation between English and Chinese.In so doing this book aims at enhancing the interest level and sudy efficiency for foreign language learning. This book can serve as a reference book for instructor in sylubus designing as well as for linguistic professinal training. The book is also suitable to be used as a reference for undergraduate and post graduate students majoring in linguistics, translation, and teaching Chinese or English to speakers of other languages. |
