摘　　要：从认知角度对英语空间概念词语OVER的语义进行分析,其理论前提是:比喻是人类认识世界的重要手段;空间概念主要是通过隐喻,即空间隐喻表达的。空间隐喻是一种意象图示——以空间概念为始原域,构建其它非空间的目标域。因此,一个表示空间概念的词语其词义往往在原型意义——空间意义的基础上经隐喻拓展而获得许多新的抽象的意义。A spatial-cognitive semantic analysis of English word OVER will be briefly presented based on the theory that cognition is one of the most important means for human beings to recognize the word and reality. Spatial concepts are mainly expressed by means of metaphors, namely spatial-cognitive metaphors. Studies show that spatial metaphors are a kind of schema in which the source domain is the spatial concepts and the target domains are abstract and non-spatiaL Therefore, a word with spatial meaning may get some other meanings indicating abstract and non-spatial concepts through spatial metaphors.
