Cognitive linguistics is mainly based on the second generation of cognitive science theories developed its philosophical foundation for the experience philosophy, focusing on cognitive perspective depth study of the human mind, body language and experience, all kinds of dialectic between the outside world Relationship, language and cognitive model, knowledge structure, and the nervous system, psychological, biological basis and so on.Therefore, to be able to discuss these relationships clear, it must be at the heart of semantic research status, thus Semantic Cognitive Approach gave rise to cognitive semantics, and become the core of cognitive linguistics.In recent years, many cognitive linguists have made a profound discussion of it, such as: Jiekindor in 1983 out of Semantics and Cognition, Lakoff published in 1988, "Cognitive Semantics" papers, he "Women, Fire, and Dangerous Things - What Categories Revealabout the Mind "and" Philosophy in the Flesh - The embodied Mind and its Challenge to Western Thought ", both of which have special chapters dealing with cognitive semantics. French cognitive linguist Larsi published "Semantic and Cognitive Studies", Langacker, Johnson, Givón, Taylor, Geeraerts, Fauconnier and other famous scholars on cognitive semantics also have a lot of important exposition. According to Prof. Lakoff's introduction to the author last year, Professor Jackendoff will soon publish a more than 1,000 pages of "cognitive semantics" monographs. Lakoff and Johnson argue that cognitive semantics mainly studies human conceptual systems, meaning and reasoning, in short, the study of human reasoning. Cognitive semantics is a conceptual structure, and the conceptual structure is the product of cognitive process. Cognition is closely related to human psychological experience, cognitive model and knowledge structure. This constitutes a cognitive semantics study basis. They fully emphasize the human experience and cognitive ability, that is not independent of the semantic sense of cognition, nor independent of human cognition outside the objective truth. They are strongly opposed to the truth of the corresponding value of the corresponding theory, the truth of the conditions of semantic theory, that semantic is a psychological phenomenon, the formation of semantic and human concept at the same time simultaneously.

Western culture and philosophy, objectivism in the past Socrates era until today, always dominated.This theory holds that the category and its characteristics and relations exist in the objective reality and is independent of human consciousness.The human mind and the meaning are only the internal representation of the external world and the objective mapping of nature. The meaning of the external world of the category and logic; meaning is objective, form, excluding all the subjective factors, meaning and human physical experience, nervous system, subjective factors; thinking is the mechanical operation of abstract symbols, mind can be like a computer The symbol has its own characteristics, it can be decomposed into a simple "building blocks", and can be combined into a complex, the symbol can be decomposed into a simple "building blocks", and can be combined into a complex, Operate according to
