Abstract
The final chapter summarises the integration of cognitive
linguistic and sociolinguistic analytical methods as an approach that can
pinpoint the conceptual patterns of the self in Chinese. This
socio-cognitive discourse approach addresses the conceptualisation of the
self and its designated cognitive patterns in Chinese. It is argued that
these conceptual patterns form the basis for the manifestation of the self
in socio-discursive acts.
Keywords: the self, socio-cultural cognition, positioning, cultural imagination
