The Implications of Conceptual Metaphor Theory for the Study of English Vocabulary 1．Introduction x The traditional teaching method of vocabulary is that the teacher tells pronunciations and meanings of the words.

And conceptual metaphor became more and more popular. The key figure is George Lakoff. According to Lakoff’s Metaphors we live by, conceptual metaphor is a ground of human experience. It also has a great revelatory sense, especially for vocabulary study. Conceptual metaphor is powerful cognitive tool for our conceptualization of abstract categories. Metaphor is expressed by vocabulary, and spreads all over the linguistic aspects. So, the research of conceptual metaphor is helpful for us to study linguistic.作者: 紫靖 时间: 2007-5-21 17:15

2.1 The concept of the conceptual theory of metaphor
Compares with the tritional metaphor theory, the conceptual theory of metaphor is based on the combination of objective and subjective experience of the view of language. The former is based on objective concept of the language. In terms of method, the former uses piecemeal analysis, which means a rhetorical device, is hidden,and totally different from daily language, while the latter is systematic research,which is a cognitive way, is a cross domain mapping, widely exists in the daily language. Conceptual theory of metaphor is a kind of language phenomenon as well as cognitive phenomenon. That has been shared the common sense. Metaphors live the depth of human’s mind. Lakoff believes that the conceptual metaphor is ubiquitous in the universal. On the basis of Lakoff and his colleagues’ theory, conceptual metaphor means mappings between conceptual domains in the human mind.作者: gooce 时间: 2007-5-22 19:08
