讲座简介：In this talk I critically examine representations of immigration taking frameworks in Cognitive Linguistics as my analytical apparatus. I start from Talmy's notion of a motion event and delineate some of the parameters along which conceptualisations of motion may vary in immigration discourse as a function of ideological perspective. I then show how these dimensions of construal may simultaneously be instantiated by co-text images in multimodal news texts. Finally, I report a recent experiment investing the ideological effects on audiences of a single construal operation - metaphor - with a focus on metaphors construing immigrants as animals versus armies.

专家简介：In his research he draws on insights and methods from cognitive science and critical discourse analysis to investigate the links between language,cognition and social/political action.
