Metaphoric competence, a component of language competence, is essential for the acquisition of a language. Difficulties in Metaphor comprehension and production lie in the fact that metaphors are culture-specific, manipulative and subjective. A comparative analysis of metaphors in English and Chinese will make Chinese learners aware of the linguistic and conceptual differences and similarities. In explicit classroom teaching, the process of vocabulary instruction, context analysis, culture teaching, speaking and writing practising is interactive with the cultivation of metaphoric competence.展开更多
