Application of Cognitive Linguistics Theory in the Semantic Teaching of Collocations-Centering on Conceptual Metaphor and Image Schema

The formation process of collocations is to choose a word and endow it with meaning as collocation. The choice of collocation is not without laws. The choosing process is inevitably governed by some social community, or the thinking mode of its native speakers. Therefore, when the thinking mode conflicts with that of a foreign language learner who does not have knowledge about the formation principle of collocation, it will surely exert negative influences, which is also the basic cause for errors in learning collocations. The basis of habitual combination of collocations cannot be found in structural linguistics, while conceptual metaphor plays a role in this aspect. The writer of this article holds that conceptual metaphor and image schema are closely connected with thinking ability, and if applied in teaching, is surely to be beneficial in the acquisition process of collocations. In this article, the writer examines conceptual metaphor and image schema reflected in Korean language, explains the collocation process and provides the corresponding teaching scheme by applying the principles of cognitive linguistics.
