Abstract：Language is used to express meaning, and meaning is the core of linguistic research. In cognitive linguistics, meaning is conceptualization in which bodily experiences play an important role. But what is conceptualization? How about its properties? And what is involved in the study of conceptualization? As to such questions, cognitive linguistics has not given systemic answers. Conceptualization is the cognitive process and neural activity of meaning construction. In a broad sense, conceptualization focuses on the conceptual representation of the whole human behavior system, including verbal behavior; while in a narrow sense, conceptualization focuses on conceptual systems related to verbal behavior. Conceptualization has the characteristics of noninsularity, dynamicity, interactivity, imagisticity, imaginativeness, subjectivity, and embodiment. The core issue of cognitive linguistics is semantics, and “meaning is conceptualization”. Therefore, the research content of conceptualization basically covers all aspects of cognitive linguistics. The research on conceptualization is mainly carried out from the two dimensions: cognitive psychology and social cognition theory. The former focuses on psychological experiences and the processing activities that constitute psychological experiences, while the latter focuses on the universality and variability of conceptualization in different social and culture backgrounds. Through sorting out the essence, characteristics and main research content of conceptualization, we can have a clearer idea of conceptualization and the meaning of cognitive linguistics.
