摘　　要：隐喻不仅是一种语言现象,与人类语言的发展规律息息相关,而且也是一种认知现象,与人的思维方式和思维发展紧密相连。根据莱考夫和约翰逊的概念隐喻理论,对英、汉语中的"牛和羊"进行图式映射析比,发现其意象图式结构能从始源域分别被投射到目标域之上,认识周边更加复杂的未知世界。研究结果表明:"许多抽象概念结构部分源起于意象图式结构,抽象思维在一定程度上是隐喻思维"。Metaphor is not only a linguistic phenomenon closely related to the law ol the development of human languages,but a cognitive phenomenon tightly linked up with the mode ＆ development of human thinking as well. Based upon the theory of conceptual metaphor by Lakoff ＆ Johnson,a contrastive analysis of schema mappings concerning such domestic animals as ＂cattle/sheep＂ is made. The research findings have shown that ＂cattle/sheep＂ in both Eng- lish and Chinese might respectively map the image-schematic structures from their source do- mains onto their target domains so that people could achieve their purpose of understanding a more complicated unknown world around them. The findings have also proved the cognitive viewpoints as follows ： ＂lots of abstract conceptual structures partially derive themselves from im- age-schematic structures, and abstract thought is, to some extent, metaphorical thought. ＂
