A Cross-linguistic approach to teaching grammar

Abstract

According to cognitive linguistic studies, abstract concepts are conceptualised through metaphors in terms of more concrete concepts. Owing to this, the syntactic properties of a lexeme may be explained through the metaphor encoded in it. The present study examines possible ways in which the cross-linguistic comparison of conceptual metaphors can help in the comprehension of grammar and, therefore, can make learning a foreign language (in this particular case, Russian) easier.
