Reviews

'A fantastically broad, thorough, and up-to-date overview of Cognitive Linguistics theory and data, accompanied with practical tools for teaching second language pedagogy and Chinese as a second language. This book stands as an example of how useful research can be in the hands of experienced language teaching practitioners.' Benjamin Bergen, Professor of Cognitive Science, UC San Diego 'This book represents a comprehensive and systematic application of cognitive linguistic research to the teaching and learning of the Chinese language, revealing how language and thought are related in embodied experience and cultural environment. Its publication is of great benefit to those who learn, teach, or study Chinese as a second language.' Ning Yu, Professor of Applied Linguistics and Asian Studies, The Pennsylvania State University
