8、胡習(xí)士麟，63）.spatial metaphor is a kind of image-schematic metaphors of high degree of cognitive indispensability. spatial metaphors can be reasoned and analyzed with the parameters trajectory, landmark and path. according to the theory of image schematic metaphor, when spatial metaphors map the image-s

9、chematic structures of spatial domains onto non-spatial abstract domains, the spatial logic of the image schemas is preserved during the process and becomes abstract logic in the non-spatial target domains （謝z君，45-48）. therefore people are able to conceptualize the non-spatial, concepts by way of th

13、y researchers in china and abroad to reveal the pervasiveness and the importance of spatial metaphors in different languages and cultures （murphyr and r.altman, 214）. many researchers have studied spatial metaphors based on the study of some specific words such as round and over however, only a few

14、studies are found in the area, which have discussed spatial metaphors of the preposition in and how its spatial concept is mapped into domains, which urges the present research.many researches on metaphor have laid a theoretical foundation for the present study which intend to investigate how the sp

15、atial metaphors of the preposition up&down are used in human conceptualization of the abstract domains.（張宜，27-30）. then, according to simpsorfs linguistic criteria for adducing the prototypical sense and by using the authoritative dictionaries such as oxford advanced learner english chinese dict

16、ionary （seventh edition, 600-601 &2218-2219）. thesis sets up the prototypical sense of the preposition up and down, and gives its prototypical image schema as well （張宜,2730）（馮茵,117）.johnson finished book of the body of the mind in 1987、which the schama was first used in it. he described schama a

17、s the process of people perceive each other and interact the outside world. we could continue to perceive and find a dynamic mode that we have the same experience （johnson m, 23）. schama is a cognitive structure model. it is a cognitive model of people drawn to certain things associated cognitive re

19、of the objective world and experience on the basis of the formation of the body (趙艷芳，447). lakoff regards it as containers or path which is relatively simple and our body recurrent experience in our daily life. schema has a gestalt structure, it is a meaningful and unified whole in our experience an

20、d cognitive. cognitive linguistics think gestalt perception of the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, and kown the whole more easily than the parts. langacker think image schema contain the main body (trajector, tr), landmarks (landmark, lm) and path (path),it represents some kind of asymme

21、tric relationship between tr and lm, tr is the main body of the asymmetric relationship and its space location needs to be determined, lm is the referenee and makes the body's main direction (j尢家煩，3-10). the route taken by the tr that called path. image schema can be said to be the static relati

22、onship between tr and lm, also can be said to be the dynamic relationship between them. when it represented the static relations, the path is zero (陶文女了，31-33). although image schema structure is sure, but they are dynamic, rather than the visual pattern shows static fixed pattern. its dynamics main

23、ly embodied in two aspects: on the one hand, image schema is a kind of dynamic structure it comes from experience, but not a container to passive hold the experience people can use this to organize and construct experience. on the other hand, it is very flexible and can make the appropriate adjustme
