In a move away from the traditional approach of teaching English phrasal verbs, which has put memorization of a definition along with a single-word alternation into a center, the main purpose of this paper is to showcase a cognitive interpretation on the meaning and use of various phrasal verbs based on metaphorical schemata and related semantic images. In order to accomplish this goal, among primary data of 70 phrasal verbs including a particle up, it delves into 37 phrasal verbs that have a metaphorical sense of up. Then, the focused data is thoroughly analyzed in the specific sentences from the COCA corpus by adopting the Rudzka-Ostyn’s (2003) semantic and conceptual analysis of phrasal verbs. The findings show how different semantic images of up are extended from that of an upward motion and how it affects the meaning of the whole phrasal verb construction. Furthermore, this paper suggests the importance of teaching English phrasal verbs based on understanding of various metaphorical senses of a particle along with semantic schemata and conceptual metaphor in certain types of textual contexts, which can challenge EFL learners to go beyond the rote memorization.
Abstract
In a move away from the traditional approach of teaching English phrasal verbs, which has put memorization of a definition along with a single-word alternation into a center, the main purpose of this paper is to showcase a cognitive interpretation on the meaning and use of various phrasal verbs based on metaphorical schemata and related semantic images. In order to accomplish this goal, among primary data of 70 phrasal verbs including a particle up, it delves into 37 phrasal verbs that have a metaphorical sense of up. Then, the focused data is thoroughly analyzed in the specific sentences from the COCA corpus by adopting the Rudzka-Ostyn’s (2003) semantic and conceptual analysis of phrasal verbs. The findings show how different semantic images of up are extended from that of an upward motion and how it affects the meaning of the whole phrasal verb construction. Furthermore, this paper suggests the importance of teaching English phrasal verbs based on understanding of various metaphorical senses of a particle along with semantic schemata and conceptual metaphor in certain types of textual contexts, which can challenge EFL learners to go beyond the rote memorization.
