General Note:
"These lectures, delivered at China International Forum on Cognitive Linguis- tics, December 2016, reflect my conviction that the Natural Semantic Meta- language approach can be rightly seen as a part of the cognitive linguistics movement. I would like to thank Professor Thomas Li for the invitation to par- ticipate. It was a honour to present in a series which has featured so many distinguished cognitive linguists over the years."
