Abstract

Metaphor, as a basic cognitive mode, essentially constructs and shapes our thinking system by limiting the cognitive framework. In the process of metaphorical thinking, the metaphorical frame and the metaphorical concept which the metaphorical expression uses are the key elements in metaphorical generation and understanding. The function of metaphorical frame is to activate a conceptual domain as the source domain of metaphor, and its influence on cognition is fundamental and guiding. The metaphorical concept determines the cross-domain mapping between the source domain and the target domain. Metaphorical frame and metaphorical concept are closely related but still different. In the process of metaphor cognition, both metaphorical frame and metaphorical concept are dynamic, and the choice of them directly affects the understanding of metaphor. By scaling the metaphorical frame and concept in the corpus and comparing and analyzing the influence caused by this change, their relationship can be described more clearly and the dynamic process of metaphor comprehension can be explained.
