Abstract

Idioms are the crystallization of language, which have already attracted linguists largely, due to their particular characteristics and special functions in language. And there is a long research history of idioms. In the light of three sub-theories of cognitive linguistics namely, the theory of conceptual metaphor, the theory of conceptual metonymy and the theory of prototype categorization, this thesis attempts to analyze idioms from the perspective of cognitive linguistics. This essay aims to explore problems that we may come across in the process of idiom learning and propose some solutions and learning strategies.
