Using dominant metaphors in American English and the Chinese
language, Metaphor, Culture, and Worldview explores how metaphor is
a product that is simultaneously shaped by and is shaping the
culture and the worldview of the people who use it, and how it
showcases some unique features of communication of the speakers of
the two languages. Using examples mostly from media and other
public speeches and writings, author Dilin Liu argues that sports
and business constitute the dominant metaphors in American English
while family and eating form the prevailing metaphors in Chinese.
To assist the reader in understanding the metaphors discussed, the
book contains a glossary of dominant American and Chinese
metaphorical idioms.
