Abstract
The Ba-construction is a unique sentence form in Chinese that expresses the semantics of “disposition”, “causing”, and “purpose”. It has always been a critical research point in modern Chinese. In recent years, with the continuous development of cognitive linguistics theory, more and more researchers have applied it to the study of Ba-construction. In this article, we analyze the imagery schema of the Ba-construction according to the imagery schema theory of cognitive linguistics and classify it into four types: displacement schema, container schema, balance schema and circumferential coverage schema. The analysis of the Ba-construction in the cognitive domain is an essential inspiration and cognitive value for the in-depth understanding of the structure of the Ba-construction and other Chinese sentence patterns.
