內容簡介
The present study investigated snake and lion metaphors with both human beings and non-human beings as the target domain. Apart from showing that universality and variation between animal metaphors exist in Chinese and English, the study also modified K6vecses's (2002, 2010) dichotomy categorization of metaphors by adding another type, that is metaphors that are image and knowledge-based at the same time. Meanwhile, it has refined the Conceptual Blending Theory (CBT) by proposing a revised version which adds an output space and allocates more attention to context in the process of interpreting metaphors.

《漢語與英國英語中的動物隱喻認知研究》:
In this aspect the expressions that are mapped onto the woman are the least in number.Specifically, 39.5% of the expressions are mapped onto the general person to show their characteristic of "being cruel".The fixed expressions 地頭蛇/di tou she,牛鬼蛇神/niu gui she shen, and 毒蛇猛獸du she meng shou are some such examples."Di tou she" refers to those who have the power or ability to bully others in his or her hometown."Niu gui she shen" originally meant the unimportant ghosts or gods in Buddhism.The ghost has an ox—head and the god has a snake's body.Later it became a fixed expression which is used to refer to various victims of the Cultural Revolution.Additionally, during the Cultural Revoluhon (1966—1976),all the victims such as famous generals and intellectuals were labeled as "niu gui she shen"."Du she meng shou" originally refers to theanimals that are threatening to human beings, and later this expression came to be used metaphorically to refer to those who are cruel and greedy.
