The Influence of Direct Metaphor Instruction on L1 and L2 Graduate Writers at MNSU

Ekaterina Kleshchenko College

My article presents the study of conceptual metaphor instruction for L1 and L2 MNSU students, which is the topic of cognitive linguistics. In this study, my students will receive conceptual metaphor instruction. I will analyze whether this instruction was more successful than the traditional instruction of metaphors. In addition, I will analyze the types of metaphors used by L1 and L2 students and see the differences in their use and functions.
