Abstract:
Metaphor and metonymy are ways of thinking, and there is adequate linguistic evidence in support of this claim. However, the present research of conceptual metaphor and conceptual metonymy has a preference to verbal manifestations over nonverbal manifestations. This paper analyzes the nonverbal and multimodal metaphors and metonymies in the advertising movie of Chanel No 5 perfume: LOVE IS A JOURNEY and THE PERFUME STANDS FOR LOVER/LOVE, which involve the interaction of the visual mode, aural mode, olfactory mode, and tactile mode, etc. Multi-modal metaphors and metonymies contribute to the representation of the relation between cognition and persuasion in advertising.
