| Description | In this study, I address the lexical strategies for encoding Chinese dish names in Chinese and a typologically distant language (which is Czech) from a cognitive semantic point of view, with emphasis on the use of conceptual mechanisms such as metaphor, metonymy and image-schemas. The study will be methodologically based on the use of multiple parallel texts, comparing Chinese with a distant language using different versions of menus from sampled Chinese restaurants in Czechia. |
