Using dominant metaphors in American English and the Chinese language, Metaphor, Culture, and Worldview explores how metaphor is a product that is simultaneously shaped by and is shaping the culture and the worldview of the people who use it, and how it showcases some unique features of communication of the speakers of the two languages. Using examples mostly from media and other public speeches and writings, author Dilin Liu argues that sports and business constitute the dominant metaphors in American English while family and eating form the prevailing metaphors in Chinese. To assist the reader in understanding the metaphors discussed, the book contains a glossary of dominant American and Chinese metaphorical idioms.

I really enjoyed this book! The comparison between American English and Chinese is fascinating. It made me think about how culture influences language. Definitely worth reading if you’re into linguistics.

Loved the cultural connections!
This book opened my eyes to the relationship between language and culture. The examples were super relatable. I bought it as a gift for my friend who's studying linguistics, and she loved it too!

A bit too academic for my taste
While the book has some great points about culture and worldview, I found the writing a little dense at times. It sort of lost me in certain chapters. But if you really like a deep dive into language theory, it might suit you better.
