Word learning from metaphor conforms to the law of cognitive science. With the help of metaphor, students can effectively extricate from difficulty in word learning, and achieve a genuine conceptual fluency.  Key words: cognitive semantics; conceptual metaphor; teaching in English <br />   <br />   I.Preface <br />  From the beginning of last century to now,scholars have done much research on metaphor from different angles such as philosophy, logics, linguistics and so on.

In later 1980s, American scholar Albert indicated that metaphor is a kind of valuable structure of language. <br />   LakoffJohnson use the mapping between source domain and target domain and image schemas to reveal the metaphor phenomenon. Theypointed that our conceptual system is largely metaphorical, and our ordinary conceptual system, in terms of which we both think and act, is fundamentally metaphorical in nature (LakoffJohnson, 1980:3). <br />   One of the commonest of all types of semantic change is metaphor: applying a word to something it does not literally denote in order to draw attention to a resemblance. According to the development of metaphor theory, Metaphor includes simile, metonymy, synecdoche, irony, allusion and etc. Metaphor is a kind of art of language that describe some association in the process of cogniti...
