Conceptual integration and construction coercion——on the neologism “tangqiang”

Abstract

“Tangqiang” means that due to some relations with Object A, Object B gets embroiled or affected in the event in which Object A is mainly involved. This word entirely inherits the metaphorical meaning from its complete form and undergoes construction coercion, be pression elaboration, and the rhetorical motivations of specific effect-pursuing have also joined hands to promote its formation together.
