Significance of an English Learner''''s Metophoric Sense in In-depth Reading Comprehension

Metaphor is pervasive in everyday language and it is a fundamental cognitive ability that allows us to think and talk about abstract concepts and phenomena. Theory and practice suggest that the ability to acquire, interpret, and produce metaphors in target language is important for language learning, especially for reading comprehension. Based on the view of the nature and the function of metaphor, this paper intends to explore the roles of metaphoric awareness with special reference to in-depth reading comprehension. Furthermore, the development of metaphoric competence and its pedagogical implications are also discussed.
