This enables us to understand, think and discuss color-related concept. This paper studies the basic color-related English words through cognitive metaphor. The process of exploring the associative meanings of the color-related English words is in nature to understand the cultural connotation of color-related English words by means of cognitive metaphor under different cultural backgrounds.展开更多

Six types of animal words were investigated in order to find the connection between their parts of speech and metaphorical relationship by applying the British National Corpus in combination with Collins Dictionary. It is found that not all verbs formed via conversion from nominal animal words carry the conceptual features of the animal entities, and in this case, the resultant verbs do not form metaphors. Where the verbs carry over the conceptual features of the nominal animal words, metaphors will occur. Of course, there are a few exceptions, like fish in fish for, which forms a metaphor though fish as a verb here does not carry over the conceptual features of the nominal fish.As to adjectives and adverbs derived from nominal animal words, they form metaphors in most cases by carrying over the conceptual features of the relevant animals. The study can be broadened to other entity nouns in order to find regularities about when their derivatives form metaphoricity.展开更多

So in the process of reading encountering the metaphor is inevitable. As the bridge between cognition and language, metaphor plays an important role in the vocabulary study. So discussing the thinking way of metaphor is very significant to improve the abihty of incidental word acquisition.展开更多
