Abstract

Image schemas are basic and skeletal structures directly emerging out of our bodily experience. Though deprived of propositional content, they directly constitute the source domain of image schema metaphors and indirectly participate in the emergence of more specific and elaborate concepts. The author discusses the PATH image schema along with its subsidiary schemas within the Cognitive Linguistics framework and assesses their applicability to foreign language teaching. Image schemas and conceptual metaphors are not only theoretical constructs but they have psychological reality and play a role in structuring texts and discourses. The author demonstrates how they can be applied in teaching figurative writing which, according to the cognitive view of figurative language and thought, includes all forms of writing and is not limited to poetry or fiction.
