According to it, there is a conceptual blending network comprised of four mental spaces： Input space Ⅰ, Input space Ⅱ, generic space, and blended space. In the process of blending, common information or structures from input spaces are projected to the ＂generic space＂. Meanwhile, through partially cross-space mapping, those structures are selectively projected to the ＂blended space＂. By means of composition, completion, and elaboration, consequently ＂emergent structure＂ comes into being from the development of blending. This theory instantly became a fresh power in cognitive research field. With the rapid development of network technology and the popularization of the internet, network language makes tremendous progresses and spreads quickly, which reflects the social and cultural development. The uniqueness and effectiveness of network language creation, to a great extent, relies on various rhetorical devices, among which parody is frequently used and plays an important role. In recent years, studies about network language somehow concentrate a lot on the construction, word transformation, and features of network vocabulary, and cognitive analysis on the mechanism of parody in network language is rather limited and requires further exploration. This paper tends to probe into the motivation and the reasons ofparody＇s popularity in network language through some examples in light of Conceptual Integration Theory in hope of a better comprehension, appreciation, and application of parody in network language展开更多

A conceptual data description approach of multidimensional data model was presented in order to conduct multidimensional data analysis of OLAP for multiple subjects. The UML (unified modeling language) galaxy diagram, describing the multidimensional structure of the conceptual integrating data at the conceptual level, was constructed. The approach was illuminated using a case of 2__roots UML galaxy diagram that takes one retailer and several suppliers of PC products into consideration.展开更多

In China, the previous studies on it are mainly stay on its surface, such as relation between CFW and culture, rhetoric and grammar; scholars scarcely note the meaning construction of CFW. This paper aims to study the process of meaning construction of CFW through the Conceptual Blending Theory （CBT） of the cognitive linguistics.展开更多

Since cognitive linguistics is based on embodiment, it can change the abstract things into comparatively concrete things, which provides a shortest way to grasp these idioms. Actually, most idioms are based on conceptual metaphor and metonymy composed of conceptual mappings between the source domain and the target one. Therefore, this paper is trying to probe into the role of cognitive principles in idioms teaching, especially animal idioms from the contrastive analysis on Chinese ＂hu＂ idioms and English ＂lion＂ idioms.展开更多
