Abstract:
Through analysis at many factors such as tenor, vehicle, cognitive environment, and subjective initiative etc, it is found that identification of the tenor and vehicle, construction of cognitive environment, and subjective initiative play important roles in determining what exact meaning the metaphor should be. The authors connect the four factors together to try to explain the process of understanding metaphor and believe that to understand a metaphor is not such an easy thing.
