摘　　要：从认知语言学的视角出发,以原型范畴理论、隐喻和转喻推理为理论基础,对when复句的多义性进行解读,分析了when复句的时间意义和其他抽象关系(因果、条件、让步、对比关系)之间的联系,厘清了隐喻和转喻在when复句语义延伸中发挥的重要作用,并构建了when复句的语义发展链。From the perspective of Cognitive Linguistics, especially based on the prototype theory and conceptual metaphor and/or metonymy theory, this paper attempts to explore the polysemy of when - complex sentences so as to clarify the relationship between the prototypical temporal meaning of when - complex sentences and its non-temporal meanings （causality, conditionality, concession and contrast） and to detect the mechanisms for the meaning extension of when - complex sentences. After a detailed a- nalysis of when - complex sentences, this paper finds out that the combination of metaphor and metonymy plays an essential part in the process of meaning extension and generalizes the meaning chains for the semantic changes of when - complex sentences, which can provide us with some ideas in teaching of polyse- my of English temporal adverbial sentences.
