Abstract:
Metaphor is absolutely not just for great poets to aimlessly wander in the world of imagination, but a most normal way to perceive the world. It condenses the mental highlights of human beings and permeates them in different cultures and languages all over the world. A study of collecting, classifying and scrutinizing the forms of expressing the four major feelings, namely, delight, anger, sorrow and dread shows that metaphor doesn’t occur casually but rises from human embodied experience, resulting from gradual subsidence of the subject’s repeated experience of reality.
