Résumé:Conceptual metaphor is a linguistic theory proposed by cognitive linguists Lakoff and Johnson in their work Metaphors We Live By (1980). Based on this theory, our study explores the idea of using the conceptual metaphor approach for teaching idiomatic expressions in French as a foreign language.
