Traditional metaphor researches mainly focus on form study and have probed into the essence of metaphor to a certain extent.However,they fail to make satisfactory explanations on the cause and working mechanism of metaphor.Fauconnier ’s Conceptual Integration Theory(CIT)can make a thorough and elaborate explanation to metaphor and reconstruct the basic pattern of metaphor production from the perspective of cognitive psychology.
