Abstract

Conceptual metaphor theory proposes that we use metaphors to understand abstract concepts and experiences in terms of more concrete, embodied experiences. In this article, we provide an overview of conceptual metaphor theory, including its key concepts, theoretical assumptions, and applications. The role of domains and mappings, conceptual blends, cultural and social factors, and embodied cognition in shaping our understanding of abstract concepts are discussed in this article.
