First of all, I am obliged to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor Professor Zhao Xia who has given me a lot of guidance in my study of cognitive linguistics, and made painstaking efforts to instruct me in the thesis-w

My deep thanks must go to Professor Cheng Shanzhen, Professor Zhou Shujun, Professor Ge Jihong, Professor Dai Yuqun, Professor Zhang Hongyan, Professor Xia Ganlin and Professor Jiang Wei, for the

I should also express my genuine gratitude to my wife, my classmates and roommates who have helped me during these years.Last but not least, the thesis owes its existence, to a large extent, to a large body of related materials. My bibliography, in this
8、respect can be regarded as the most genuine act of thanks to the authors of those materials.AbstractLexical polysemy is the most pervasive and the most important semantic phenomenon in English. Therefore, it has been the focus of linguists researches. The traditional studies are confined to the exte
9、rnal reasons that cause the changes of meanings of polysemous words without taking account of their underlying cognitive mechanisms. They fail to reveal the essential nature of polysemous words. The polysemous phenomenon has attracted much concern of cognitive linguists too. Some of the cognitive re
10、searchers focused their minds too much on the classification of the semantic system of polysemous words (王德春,2002). Others lay their emphasis on the analysis of polysemous perception words or bodily-part words such as hand or heart. However, the research which systematically studies internal semanti
11、c relations of polysemous words and explains the nature of the development of the meanings of polysemous words is still rare in terms of cognitive linguistics.This thesis conducts a study of polysemous words from a cognitive perspective within the relevant theoretical framework of categorization and
12、 prototype, metaphor, metonymy and image schema, the goal of which is to find the formation process as well as semantic extension mechanisms of polysemy. Moreover, we intend to make a systematic explanation of the motivation behind the formation of polysemy and demonstrate connections of the related
13、 senses of a polysemous word.The thesis is organized as follows: chapter one is the introduction, the purpose and significance of this study is firstly given. Then the previous studies are briefly reviewed. Chapter two is about the theoretical foundation, namely the theory of categorization and prot
14、otype. The internal structure of polysemy is linked by prototype and family resemblance. In this chapter, a case study of polysemous interest is also attached. Chapter three is concerning the motivation mechanisms of meaning extension. The theory of conceptual metaphor, metonymy and image schema is introduced. Another case study of polysemous window is conducted to illustrate the explanatory power of the three meaning extension devices. Chapter four is mainly about a case
