Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Polysemy is a significant language phenomenon, and it appears widely in every language. Polysemy is realized on the basis of image schema by the means of metaphor and metonymy, and it expands from the basic meaning to the extended meanings, with those extended meanings having close relations with each other. To study ploysemy from the view of cognitive linguistics can not only help us to better understand polysemy, but also give us some inspirations in foreign language vocabulary teaching.
