AB - This paper mainly discusses the cognitive mechanism for the formation of Japanese compound verbs from the perspective of conceptual metaphor, and generalizes that metaphors play an important role in the combination of verbs belonging to different semantic fields. Specifically， structural metaphors are instantiated in two ways: i) THINKING IS MOVING FORWARD; and ii) DELIVERY OF INFORMATION IS DELIVERY OF THINGS. Orientational metaphors are manifested in the following ways: i) the“UP/DOWN” metaphor, i.e. AWARENESS IS UP, PERCEPTION IS UP, PROSPERITY IS UP, IRRATIONALITY IS UP, RULING IS UP WHILE BEING SUBJUGATED IS DOWN, and RESPECTED PERSON IS UP WHILE DISRESPECTED PERSON IS DOWN； and ii) the “IN/OUT” metaphor, i.e. PRODUCTION IS AN OUTWARD MOVEMENT, DISCLOSURE AND PUBLICATION OF INFORMATION ARE OUTWARD MOVEMENTS WHILE ABSORPTION OF INFORMATION IS AN INWARD MOVEMENT, BEGINNING AN ACTION IS AN OUTWARD MOVEMENT WHILE CONTINUING AN ACTION IS AN INWARD MOVEMENT, and OFFICIAL AFFAIRS ARE ON THE OUTSIDE. In general, the formation of Japanese compound verbs keeps to the following template: the first verb (the Target Domain) +the second verb (the Source Domain).
