Description

Recent research of cognitive linguistics makes the metaphor not only the art of rhetorical and poetical flourish, but also an important part of human conceptual thought. Similarity of thought is expressed through the use of the metaphor and it can also create inspiration like Newton's falling apple. This idea of the metaphor can be found in the structure and the etymology of kanji characters. In this research, a cognitive linguistics approach of the metaphor is applied to kanji characters and vocabulary education. This approach through the utilization of kanji creates the foundation for abstract thinking.
