《英漢社會話語中的隱喻比較研究：以政治演說為例》以概念隱喻理論為分析框架，通過識別與比較英漢政治語篇中的概念隱喻，全面考察了英漢兩種語言中隱喻使用的異同現像，並基於身體體驗和文化體驗視角，繫統闡釋了隱喻選擇出現差異的深層次因素，進而論證了漢語政治語篇中抽像概念通過隱喻實現的本質問題。
在語料收集和方法論上，《英漢社會話語中的隱喻比較研究：以政治演說為例》選取了高校演講、國慶日致辭、抗震救災演講、新年祝詞和就職演說等五類主題文本，並運用批評性隱喻分析法，即語境分析、隱喻識別、隱喻分類和隱喻闡釋對語料進行比較研究。

Through a comparative analysis of the conceptual metaphors identified in the political speeches by former US President Barack Obama and
former Chinese President Hu Jintao， this book explores the similarities
and differences between the conceptual metaphors in English and Chinese data， distills the deep causes underlying different metaphor
choices on the basis of bodily and cultural experiences and proves that
abstract concepts in Chinese political discourse are fundamentally metaphorical in nature. Moreover， the book considers some issues with respect to interdisciplinary research on metaphor.
Methodologically， the book divides the formal speeches from two
leaders into five major categories， i. e. Address on National Independence， Address in University， Address on Earthquake Resistance and
Disaster Relief， New Year Creetings and Inaugural Address. Based on
the Conceptual Metaphor Theory （CMT） and a combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis， I adopt the Critical Metaphor Analysis
（CMA） ， i. e. contextual analysis， metaphor identification， metaphor
interpretation and metaphor explanation to carry out a comparative analysis of the conceptual metaphors in English and Chinese data.
