Abstract

As a mode of cognition, conceptual metaphor builds a cognitive relation between two cognized fields or concepts through the thinking of the cognitive body. Different conceptions are caused by different cultural variations in which Chinese and English conceptual metaphor systems are generated. The paper attempts to make an analysis of conceptual metaphor regarding the effects of advertising discourse hoping to help us better understand cultural factors and origins in different societies to promote the smoother communication between each other.
