Cognitive Linguistics and the Study of Chinese(2019) surveys comprehensively throughout the 30 years of Cognitive Linguistics study in China, which highlights the three turns in Cognitive Linguistics and points out the importance of localization of linguistic theory.It comprehensively combs the hottest trends, research paradigms in Cognitive Linguistics.It is of great value and guiding significance for the localization of linguistic theories.This thesis gives a brief review of the book and its main characteristics such as pioneering, applicability, localization, guidance, critical reflection, striving for change, interdisciplinary integration, and bi-directional interaction.Based upon Cognitive Linguistics and the Study of Chinese, we believe that, researches on the heterogeneity of Chinese facts might be one approach of the theoretical innovation of Cognitive Linguistics.Thus under the guidance of philosophy of New Liberal Arts, a prospect of the localization of Cognitive Linguistics based upon Chinese facts is also drawn from the following four dimensions:research paradigm of philosophy of science, cross-disciplinary integration model, cross-linguistic contrastive verification as well as the combination of synchronic and diachronic research.It is an ecological system for the combination of Cognitive Linguistics and the making of Chinese grammar theories, which fully demonstrates an organic bi-directional interaction of the two:Cognitive Linguistics offers the basic affordance for Chinese grammar studies, and in converse, the study of Chinese grammar might feed in return for the theoretical innovation of Cognitive Linguistics.The deeper Cognitive Linguistics theory goes, the stronger its theoretical robustness might become.The thesis might offer a certain reference value for the study of Chinese, both for Cognitive Linguistics Circle and for the other linguistics schools in China.
