Chapter Four Analysis of Multimodal Metaphor in “Chinese Dream” Series of PPSAs 

This section aims to make a detailed analysis of the multimodal manifestation of  metaphor  in  “Chinese  dream”  series  of  PPSAs,  the  feature  mapped  and  the  meaning conveyed. What’s more, the reason why the multimodal metaphor is such manifested is also explored.  

4.1 The Event Structure Metaphor in “Chinese Dream” Series of PPSAs 

As  what  Lakoff  claims,  a  metaphorical  understanding  of  event  structure  exists. Chinese dream, as an abstract and new concept, is regarded as a crucial political event in  the  contemporary  China.  And,  “Chinese  dream”  series  of  PPSAs  aim  to propagandize  this  new  national  policy  of  realizing  the  great  rejuvenation  of  the Chinese  nation,  and  to  exert  an  influence  on  people’s  thinking,  understanding  and action. Therefore, a metaphorical understanding ought to be applied into the “Chinese dream” series of PPSAs.  Besides, according to Lakoff, there exist the location-version and object-version of the Event Structure Metaphor. As a result, these two versions of the Event Structure Metaphor  may  also  be  applied  into  the  construction  of  “Chinese  dream”  series  of PPSAs.  Through  a  crude  investigation,  it  is  found  that  the  location-version  of  the Event  Structure  Metaphor,  namely,  JOURNEY  METAPHOR  is  utilized  in  “Chinese dream”  series  本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
