Although we agree with the traditional view that there is no complete predictability,we suggest that there is a great deal of systematic conceptual motivation for the meaning of most idioms. Since most idioms are based on conceptual metaphors and metonymies, systematic motivation arises from sets of "conceptual mappings or correspondences" that obtain between a source and a target domain in the sense of Lakoff and Koevecses (1987). In this thesis, through the tentative analysis of idioms with heart, we prove that idioms, at least idioms involving emotions, are systematic. This new view seems to be potentially useful in the teaching/learning of idioms.展开更多

The results show that after having got the tenure of paddies, the farmers could determine the management projects according to the market demands, which caused the diversity of cultivated crop species and improved the efficient of land use. For the forestland, after having gotten the tenure of forestland, the farmers could adjust the structure of forest types and managed bamboo and orchards to get more earnings or they gave up managing forests and changed them into other projects. But that made the stability of agricultural ecological system unsteady because the forests were damaged seriously. After the tenure of land was separated from the ownership of land, the farmers who had the tenure of land could deal with the tenure of land according to laws and policies, and that caused the tenure of land to be rented-in and rented-out.展开更多
