简介：I became interested in the area of cognitive study in language　and culture during my Ph.D. study in the School of English　Studies, Nottingham University, where I was able to get access　to all the possible source of information and meet some famous　scholars. My interests in this area have never been doused ever　since. After I got my Ph.D. and came back to China, I took up　the job of conducting for the MA students a course of cognitive　linguistics, which had stayed untaught on their curriculum.Teaching such an interdisciplinary course is difficult because　students come to it with little background knowledge and little　accessibility to the possible material and books in this area. The　course I conduct, however, attracts a large number of students.　Prompted by their earnest interests in this field, I started to　make a sketch of a book, which attempts to construct a course　that presupposes no special preparation in such a field as well as　to function as an introduction to the cognitive study of languages　and cultures for researchers in neighboring disciplines.I became interested in the area of cognitive study in language　and culture during my Ph.D. study in the School of English　Studies, Nottingham University, where I was able to get access　to all the possible source of information and meet some famous　scholars.

简介：　　"The relationship between language and culture has been a focus of attention from a variety of disciplinary perspectives for many years.Linguists,anthropolpgists,sociologists,psychologists,and others have sought to understand whether and how cultural factors influence aspects of human behaviour such as perception,cognition,language,and communication.Within language teaching,cultural factors have occasionally attracted the interest of both theoretication and practitioners.Robert Lado was one of the first to suggest that cultural systems in the native culture could be compared with those in the target culture and serve as a source of contrasting linguisting linguistic systems do.Others have examined a range of different aspects do second language use that are subject to culutrally based influences,including classroom interaction,roles of teachers and strudents,and teaching styles."(Cited from Culture in Second Language Teaching and Learning edited by Eli Hinkel)
