The study of the relationship between cognitive approach and foreign language teaching is undoubtedly instructive not only to guarantee the quality of foreign language teaching but also to improve learners＇ foreign language proficiency. In this essay, the author expounds the development of cognitive approach and some relative teaching principles, on which basis the author puts forward some specific practices in foreign language teaching.展开更多

At present, it is of prevalence to study education from the linguistic perspective. This paper tends to center on education discourses, both written texts and educational practices, and understand their underlying cognitive or cultural models by resorting to the metaphorical theory in cognitive linguistics.展开更多

In recent years, the prototype theory, as the cornerstone of cognitive linguistics, has been employed in different research fields, such as phonology, syntax, semantics, English teaching, etc..This thesis attempts to review and discuss the researches done so far on semantics and categorization based on a cognitive theory -- the prototype theory.展开更多

They believe that unlike what Chomsky and his advocates believe the basis of linguistics studies must be meaning and the cognitive faculty of human beings must be considered in this kind of study. One of the hypotheses of cognitive linguistics in Langacker＇s words is that semantics is conceptualization. Conceptualization is an expression which Langacker has used and it is derived from Saussure＇s view of language. One of the evidences that cognitive linguists put forward to proving the hypothesis is the conceptual theory of metaphor which this paper is about.展开更多
