A Study on Biden Administration’s Cognition on China: From the Perspective of Cognitive Discourse Analysis

Bin Zhou

Abstract—By using “levels of categorization” in categorization theory in cognitive linguistics, this article studies Biden Administration’s cognition on China. After analyzing the categories it uses to recognize China in “Strategic Competition Act of 2021,” this article discovers that its categorizing model mainly consists of 5 modules: (1) dividing a category into semantically non-overlapping subcategories, (2) juxtaposing a subcategory and its elements, (3) ignoring the subcategory and upgrading its elements, (4) concealing the subcategory and its elements in the logical suppositions within the relevant discourses, and (5) putting some elements on the border of two subcategories.

Index Terms—Categorizing model, “Strategic Competition Act of 2021”, the US’s cognition on China
