On March 24, 2023, Professor Zhou Pin from the College of Foreign Languages was invited to give a lecture entitled A Comparison of the Embodied Conceptualization of Emotions in English and Chinese - Based on Endoreceptive Neuroscience to the students and teachers of Wuhan University's College of Foreign Languages. Many professors, PhD students and master students from the College of Foreign Languages of Wuhan University attended the lecture. Professor Zhou combined the cutting-edge endoreceptive neuroscience with the conceptualization of emotion or cross-cultural comparison of emotion cognition, reflecting on and critiquing the traditional cognitive semantics methodology and the view on the embodied cognition of emotion, and proposing a new cross-linguistic and cross-cultural comparative dimension of the embodied cognition of emotion. The participants generally agreed that Prof. Zhou's lecture was broad in vision, following the frontiers of international neuroscience, informative, well-organized, and in-depth.
Professor Zhou's lecture and question-and-answer session lasted for nearly two hours, and the lecture was highly praised and appreciated by Vice Dean Cheng Xiangli of Wuhan University's College of Foreign Languages, and the students and teachers could not get enough of it.
