Chinese-English Puns and Transmission of Cultural Values in Cross-Cultural Communication

Abstract

In today’s era of globalization, contacts and exchanges between different countries and cultures have become increasingly frequent. In this context, language, as a central tool for communication, acts as a bridge connecting people from different cultures. As two representative languages, Chinese and English carry rich cultural connotations and values. As a special linguistic phenomenon, Chinese and English puns have attracted widespread attention in cross-cultural communication.
