Abstract

Language comparison is a powerful tool in linguistics. It not only deepens the understanding of the linguistic characteristics of the language being compared, but also helps to analyze the characteristics of cross-language and cross-cultural human thinking. The purpose of this thesis is to supplement the deficiencies of previous studies, conduct a comprehensive comparison of "hand" metaphors and metonyms in Chinese and Russian, use corpus methods to estimate their generality in the two languages, and analyze the Russian language reflected by these metaphors and metonyms. and characteristics of Chinese culture. Literature research method: This paper sorts out the metaphor and metonymy of "hand" in Russian and Chinese on the basis of researching metaphors, idioms, word-formation literature, dictionaries and other materials. This study concludes that first, compared with Russian words for "hand", metonymy and metaphor are more frequently used in Chinese. Second, there are more "hand" word metaphors than metonymy in the Chinese corpus, but there is no big difference in the number of metonymy and metaphor in the Russian corpus. Third, the metonymy of "hand" words in Chinese and Russian is relatively similar, and the difference between metaphors is more obvious, which shows that culture has a greater influence on metaphors, such as the characteristics of the showman's culture, gestures and other non-verbal communication habits, etc.

Abstract

Against the backdrop of advancing educational digitization, the auxiliary role of digital technology in oral English teaching has become increasingly prominent. As a global topic within the field of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL), technology-enabled oral instruction manifests diverse pathways across different national contexts. This study employs CiteSpace 6.3.R1 software to conduct a visualization analysis of relevant journal articles indexed in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) from 2010 to 2025. The aim is to explore research hotspots and evolutionary trends in technology-enabled oral English teaching within China. Results indicate a generally growing research interest in this field, with hotspots concentrated on the application of technologies such as artificial intelligence in higher education. However, the research still faces challenges:  empirical studies remain overly concentrated on higher education in terms of breadth, while in depth they mostly focus on verifying short-term effects, lacking in-depth examination of long-term impacts and ethical dimensions. By mapping China's research landscape, this study aims to provide a differentiated case reference for global research in this field. Future research should deepen toward a systematic approach characterized by multi-contextual, long-term, and deeply integrated approaches to build a more mature smart education ecosystem.
