Opening Report of China's International Education Thesis

Topic: Similarities and differences between Chinese and English orientation cognition and its influence and application on Chinese international education.

First, the basis of topic selection

1, the research significance of this topic.

Although the expression of orientation has always been an old topic in Chinese learning and research, the study of cognitive similarities and differences between English and Chinese and the introduction of orientation culture into Chinese international education in recent years are probably still under exploration. Learning to explore the cultural connotation in the expression of orientation will definitely play a positive role in correctly understanding and mastering Chinese and China culture. This paper will discuss the influence and function of different orientation cognition between English and Chinese on English in Chinese teaching.

2. Research status at home and abroad (literature review)

Orientation cognition is an ancient topic in Chinese expression, which has been studied by many scholars at home and abroad. Many studies have analyzed the orientation cognition of Chinese and English from different angles. Spatial orientation gives the spatial position of an object. The existence of an object is not isolated, but has certain connection with other things. The position of an object depends on this correlation. In other words, the location is always based on something else. Observation points, perspectives, etc. It also affects the determination of the position of the object. In the image schema of "object image-background" in cognitive linguistics, the object with undetermined position is called object image, and the object used as position reference is called background. Together with the viewpoint that affects the visual angle, it constitutes the factor that affects the spatial position of the object. Spatial orientation is the most direct way of human experience. Due to different customs and ways of thinking, different ethnic groups have similarities and differences in their cognitive models of spatial orientation, which will inevitably be reflected in their respective languages. Chinese spatial orientation words refer to a kind of words specially used to express the spatial orientation and position of objects in Chinese. In natural language, describing the position of an object with locative words cannot be simply determined by the grammatical symbols of the words themselves, but the semantics of spatial locative words depend on the context. Domestic studies mostly analyze the similarities and differences between Chinese and English positioning cognition from the perspective of culture and cognition, but pay little attention to its influence and function in the process of Chinese international education.
