摘　　要：The more common the world, the more meanings it has. We can say that polysemy is the role and monosemy is the exception. Polysemy is a common phenomenon for students in language learning, but is also the difficulty of their learning. Studying semantic changes leading to the growth of polysemy is an effective way in the research of wording-building. More importantly, the formation of polysemy is closely related to culture and human activities, and especially in the cognitive domains of human activities. As a primary means, metonymy plays a key role in the formation from one word sense to another extension. Therefore, from the perspective of cognitive metonymy, for teachers, to let the students know the network of meaning-building and the relationships of different elements in word-building is extremely important; and for students, to know the rule for the formation of polysemy has essential implications for their vocabulary acquisition.
