Abstract: The meanings and semantic of idiomatic expressions have been rather important and difficult in language learning.Different from the traditional theory,cognitive semantics holds that idioms are the products of our conceptual system and that their essences are notion and system rather than the nature of language.This paper tries to explain the meanings and semantic of English idioms from a cognitive semantics perspective,which makes us learn English idioms better and understand them more accurately in the process of learning.
