본문내용
The word of “cognition” can be dated from Latin word “cognitio”, referring to the action or faculty of knowing or learning (Zhao, 2001). In cognitive linguistics, cognition is generalized to be the process in which the experience obtained from the objective world is organized, conceptualized and structuralized in the mental and physical activities. According to cognitive linguists, language is considered as both a part of human cognition and the product of human intelligence. They claim that language is the result and an indispensable part of cognition and it accelerates the development of cognition.
It is the publication of Lakoff & Johnson’s Metaphor We Live By (1980) which marks the establishment of the cognitive approach to metaphor. And they claim that “new metaphors have the power to create a new reality” (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980:7). In general, the cognitive view on metaphor holds that metaphor shapes our thoughts and actions. Metaphor is a way of thinking and persuading, as well as that it is a linguistic phenomenon. Metaphor is the main mechanism through which we comprehend abstract concepts and view the world.
