Research interests
Michele Mannoni (满铂渊) specializes in modern Mandarin Chinese linguistics, which he investigates from various perspectives, primarily within discourse analysis and metaphor theory and analysis. His research employs both quantitative and qualitative corpus-based analyses. He focuses particularly on the processes of meaning-making at both intralinguistic and interlinguistic levels.
Chinese institutional-legal language
In his recent publications, Mannoni has explored the metaphors used in Chinese and English for key legal concepts, such as “rights” (权利) and “injustice” (冤). He has also examined the meaning and translation of essential legal notions such as “legitimate rights and interests” (合法权益) and “illegal rights and interests” (非法权益), in part together with Prof. Deborah Cao (Griffith University, Australia).
Methodology
He designed a procedure aimed at finding possible metaphors at the word compound and collocate level starting from a target-domain word in a Chinese corpus (MetaCoCoTaC). Currently, he is refining a procedure for identifying linguistic metaphors at the word level in modern Chinese.
Chinese Language of Emotions
For the Project of Excellence on Inclusive Humanities (2023-2027), Mannoni is working in the Chinese linguistic area on themes of inclusion and accessibility in institutional-legal language, as well as in the context of mental, emotional, and physical health. He has two studies under peer review that focus on metaphors in post-trauma language and in the processing of grief for pet loss.
