ABSTRACT

Embodied linguistics was proposed based on the study and reflection of cognitive linguistics and its philosophical foundations. This theory holds that human thought, language, and concepts arise from interactive experiences and cognitive processing. Wang Yin (2014) explicitly introduced the concept of "embodied linguistics." Prior to this, embodied linguistics was in its nascent stage. From 2014 to 2019, following Wang Yin's (2014) contribution, there was a concentrated application of embodied linguistics. The second theoretical construction and application research of embodied linguistics, compared to the first, yielded richer results with more diverse research directions. We are currently in the second stage, at the initial stage of development of embodied linguistics, gradually departing from the influence of Western philosophy and linguistics to establish a localized linguistic theory.
