Since teaching vocabulary successfully is still one of the most outstanding challenges in TEFL, this paper intends to shed some light on the advantages Cognitive Linguistics can provide to EFL, showing the necessity to apply new strategies to increase the students' language command. The present study provides a theoretical approach that can be applied to education by means of a task. We suggest that introducing vocabulary using cognitive domains as knowledge configurations and arranging it into levels of categorization can lead to more effective input processing and, consequently, to a better language command as well as a richer linguistic repertoire.
The present study aims at identifying and contrasting metaphorical expressions and their underlying conceptual metaphors grounded in the COOKING domain in American English (AmE) and Peninsular Spanish (PenSp).
