From the cognitive linguistics viewpoint, this paper discusses conceptual metaphor theory and proposes to apply it as an alternative approach to teaching English idioms. Through the conceptual metaphor analysis of example idioms, the author proves that idiom meanings are formed from conceptual metaphors rather than dogmatism and discusses some implications for language teaching.

What, So What and Now what. Maybe you’ve heard this before, I certainly didn’t invent it. I learned the technique twenty years ago while training to facilitate team building sessions. We used metaphors to train, activities such as sitting back to back in pairs and describing geometric shapes for partners to draw, or team exercises in Lego construction. The lessons were always about communication and understanding team strengths and weaknesses and we used What, So What, Now What in the debrief to make lessons apparent. We’d begin the debrief by asking the participants What had happened. ..

Idiom - A group of words (or a single word) which have a meaning that is not understood by combining the standard definitions of the individual words (though that meaning may sometimes be inferred). Idioms are a style or form of (often artistic) expression, characteristic of a particular language, group, subculture, school of thought, generation, or medium (for example, movies and television). Idioms can convey that the current situation being described has a resemblance with past history, and in that sense they may be similar to analogies or metaphors.

To understand the role of the shaman, and to know anything of his genius in using plants, one must be prepared to accept the possibility that when he tells of moving into realms of the spirit, he is not speaking in metaphor. This was perhaps the most difficult lesson for me to learn as an ethnobotanist schooled in science...
