conceptual metaphor is the most prominent achievements in cognitive linguistics and cognitive semantics. based on this theory, most of the parts of our vision system and mindset is naturally metaphorical, which structures our way of thinking and understanding. therefore, our understanding has strong relationship in all aspects, and since the ethical implications are naturally abstract, metaphor...

This full-day workshop explores the Production of Referring Expressions (PRE) from different perspectives. It follows two earlier workshops on the same theme, which were associated with two earlier CogSci conferences. The first of these, PRE-CogSci 2009, focussed on the interplay between computational and empirical methods.1 The second, PRECogSci 2011, broadened this theme to include work on di...

In many theoretical and applied areas of computational linguistics researchers operate with a notion of linguistic distance or, conversely, linguistic similarity, which is the focus of the present workshop. While many CL areas make frequent use of such notions, it has received little focused attention, an honorable exception being Lebart & Rajman (2000). This workshop brings a number of these s...

This paper studied deixis in cognitive linguistics, and mainly introduced three types of deixis: spatio-temporal; knowledge-related; empathy. On the basis, literature on this topic recent years was reviewed relying China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) Web Science. The findings are: represented by "这" "那" "this" "that" are related to distance psychological space rather than only physic...

Currently, computational linguists and cognitive scientists working in the area of discourse and dialogue argue that their subjective judgments are reliable using several different statistics, none of which are easily interpretable or comparable to each other. Meanwhile, researchers in content analysis have already experienced the same difficulties and come up with a solution in the kappa stati...

China has the biggest population of netizens in world and more cybernauts often use cyber-expressions their Internet communication some are even used our daily life offline. With increasing popularity these cyber-expressions, they have caught eyes scholars expressions’ formation meaning construction analyzed from many perspectives.
