Abstract

Emotion is an important part of human life and an important manifestation of psychological activities. The expression and description of emotion can not only reflect the rhetorical means of language, but also reflect human cognition of emotion. Based on the conceptual metaphor theory first proposed by Lakoff and Johnson, this paper makes a cognitive analysis of the conceptual metaphors in Chinese negative emotion words such as sadness, anger, disgust, hatred and fear exist, including the definition, classification and operation mechanism of conceptual metaphors. By examining the language examples in the corpus, we try to achieve two main goals.  Firstly, categorize the conceptual metaphors expressed by Chinese negative emotion words, and summarize the proportion of each negative emotion word in different metaphor categories; The second is to analyze the metaphorical meaning and expression forms of Chinese negative emotion words in different metaphorical categories, including the characteristics of each metaphorical category in actual language, and deeply explore the cognitive mechanism of Chinese negative emotion words conceptual metaphor. The research method is a combination of qualitative and quantitative, that is, the conceptual metaphor of Chinese negative emotion words is mainly used as the research framework, and the example sentences of these five negative emotion words in CCL modern Chinese corpus are quantitatively investigated.  The research mainly investigates the example sentences of these five negative emotion words in CCL modern Chinese corpus, and divides different metaphor concept types, such as substances in containers, diseases, difficult problems or topics, living beings, objects and so on. Then, this paper analyzes these nine types of metaphorical examples from the cognitive point of view, and finds out some rules related to the affective concept expressed by Chinese negative emotion words and their metaphorical meaning and metaphorical expression forms. The 1000 corpus examined in this paper comes from different styles, including news reports, newspaper abstracts, oral dialogues, interviews, historical histories, practical writings and essays. Due to the huge data of CCL corpus, it has not covered all types or failed to investigate exhaustively, and needs to be further supplemented and expanded.  But at least, we can see the complexity of Chinese negative emotion metaphor from the data and analysis results, and the degree of emotion expressed and the diversity of metaphor forms.
