The topic of metaphor has long been a focal point for linguists and has been deeply studied by both local and international scholars. Linguists worldwide have expressed their theoretical views and conducted thorough analyses on the main concepts of cognitive metaphor theory, its significance in language and thought, and its role in communication and cognition. This article analyzes the perspectives of the founders of cognitive metaphor theory as well as those linguists who have studied and interpreted it.
