Abstract

Prototype category theory is one of the theoretical foundations of cognitive linguistics. As a new concept construction model, it provides a new perspective for language research and teaching, and constructs a new theoretical platform for foreign language teaching. Since the end of the last century, prototype category theory has also been favored by Chinese scholars. This paper introduces prototype category theory and mainly analyzes the application of this theory in English teaching, including vocabulary teaching and writing teaching. This paper aims to promote the organic combination of prototype theory and language teaching practice, and further improve the effectiveness of language classroom teaching.
