The Role of Metaphors in Shaping Cultural Identity and Values: A Philosophical Exploration in Academic Thesis Writing

Abstract

This study makes use of a diachronic corpus to deeply analyze the collaborative phenomena and semantic evolution processes of cultural metaphorical words in academic writing. Through a systematic analysis of the corpus of papers from different periods, it reveals the characteristics of the distribution and collaborative patterns of cultural metaphorical words, sorts out the trajectories, laws, and influencing factors of semantic evolution, and explores the interrelationship between their collaboration and semantic evolution. The research results provide a new perspective for understanding the dynamic interaction between language and culture in academic writing, and contribute to deepening the understanding of literary research and the mechanisms of language evolution.
