Metaphor is a cognitive process and it is a mapping across different domains in nature rather than a simple linguistic phenomenon. The transference of different domains produces different contexts in which the phenomenon of polysemy appears. Therefore,this paper aims at interpreting the polysemy of head in terms of metaphor,finding out the relations between the various meanings of its polysemant and thus analyzing the cognitive motivation of polysemy. That will let people not only have a further understanding of polysemy,but also contribute to English vocabulary teaching.展开更多

It deals with questions related to photographic reality, polysemy, denotation and connotation, whose comprehension is fundamentally important for the interpretation of photography discourses. It also approaches aspects that have influenced photography analysis towards its thematization, such as the characterization of an image bank, the functions performed by photos, as well as technical and visual quality.展开更多
