Guided by the embodied philosophy and cognitive linguistics, this book focuses on the macro-metaphor of “THE MIND IS THE BODY” from the perspective of English-Chinese comparison. It examines the metaphorical projections of perceptual concepts as well as their semantic extensions, and reveals the conceptual metaphorical system of perception between English and Chinese.
