Chapter 1: Introduction
As we all know, language is a social phenomenon, carrying rich culture connotations. Word is the most basic and the most active component of language. Words not only reflect the development and change of culture, but also directly reflect the cultural differences. Therefore, it is necessary to study cultural meaning of words. Animals are close to the human life, thus forming a lot of words related to animal. Animal words are also formed under the specific cultural backgrounds. Different cultural backgrounds of China and the Western countries, give different associations to the same kind of animal, thus producing various culture-connotations of the animal words.[1]
