Abstract

Speech codes help shape common sense system in a specific yet populous culture. Some culturally saturated metaphors in traditional Chinese idioms might exemplify the functions and structures of common sense in communication, becoming commonsense social norms affecting ordinary Chinese communicative behaviors by enabling, guiding, framing, constraining, strategizing, describing, interpreting, and theorizing about communication. The pool of Chinese idioms is a cultural resource that enables and constrains human relations, which are both constructs and constraints of their users’ models of personhood, sociality, and understanding of communication.
