A Study of Metaphor and Its Application in Language Learning and Teaching
Zhang, Fachun; Hu, Jianpeng
International Education Studies, v2 n2 p77-81 May 2009
Metaphor is more a vehicle of cognizing the world than purely a rhetorical device. This paper first gives a brief review of traditional metaphor and modern metaphor in the West and then devotes a large space to elaborate on reasons for emergence of metaphor, characteristics of metaphor, working mechanism of metaphor, and then proposes suggestions on its application in language learning and teaching.
