摘　　要：Conversion can be defined as a special kind of derivation that links two different word classes without morphological change of a word itself.Previous studies have proved that noun-to-verb conversion can be viewed as an instance of metonymy.This study has analyzed verb-to-noun conversion by means of metonymy and ICMs,so as to find out the cognitive mechanism behind this linguistic phenomenon.Also,this paper discusses the semantic and cognitive factors which can affect verb-to-noun conversion.
