Abstract

The 19th CPC National Congress is an important meeting held in the critical period of China securing a decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects. Its report provides up-to-date material to do linguistic studies. Therefore, this research conducts a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the conceptual metaphors used in the report. The results reveal that 17 structural metaphors have been used in the Report. BUILDING metaphor, JOURNEY metaphor, WAR metaphor are the three most frequently used metaphor types in the Report. All these metaphors are of vital importance in building the discourse space of the Report.
