Abstract

Abstract:

Cognitive linguistics holds that language is not the direct reflection of the external world, but rather undergoes cognitive processing by the human brain. Therefore, human knowledge can be divided into three distinct yet interrelated parts, namely the Perceived World, the Rationally-thought World, and the Linguistically-encoded World. The Perceived-World is composed of things that sensory organs can perceive, with characteristics such as hierarchy, plasticity, closeness, vividness, and unreality. The Rationally-thought World is composed of concepts, image schema, conceptual domains, etc. This world has the characteristics of being fussy in spatial and temporal concepts, highly abstract, three-dimensional, instrumental, and emergently evolved. The Linguistically-encoded World is the manifestation of the Rationally-thought World, consisting of word encoding, selection of encoding mode, figure-ground alignment, situational adaptation, etc., with symbolic and linear characteristics.

Key words: embodied-cognitive philosophy, Perceived World, Rationally-thought World, Linguistically-encoded World
