Abstract

Emotional metaphor is a way of expressing and recognizing emotion, which is formed by the similarity of emotion category and other domain category. In the emotional metaphor proposition “A is B”, B is a set of multiple possible values. Some categories related to individual evaluation, physiological response and behavioural action are likely to be the prototype of emotional metaphor. Types of emotional metaphor prototype in Chinese include the physiological response, sensory experience, natural phenomena, and spatial relations. Metaphor prototypes of emotional language expression provide references for embodied cognition of metaphor.
