Metaphor has been defined as a set of conceptual mappings between cognitive domains where one of the domains－called the source－helps us to structure, understand and reason about the other－called the target. The aim of this paper is to examine the conceptual structure of metaphor and the aspects of relation between the domains involved in the metaphoric mapping. The results of this paper are as follows: First, the concepts of metaphor are structuralization in schematic-network, which is based on the structural relations between a subdomain and the matrix domain. Second, the mapping can be divided into one-correspondence mapping and many-correspondence mapping. The former type is used in ontological metaphor or orientational metaphor, the latter type is used in structural metaphor as cognitive mappings. Third, the metonymic mapping is the case of one-correspondence mapping within a domain; that is to say, either a whole domain maps onto one of its subdomains or vice versa.
