Abstract
Metaphor, as a common linguistic phenomenon, has been the focus for most linguists. In recent decades, as metaphor highly concentrated on the political discourse development, more and more linguists have begun to emphasize on metaphorical use in politics. However, scholars pay less attention to Chinese political discourse metaphors. Critical metaphor analysis is a new metaphor research method proposed by Charteris-Black in 2004 with the intention to reveal the hidden ideology, attitude and beliefs concealed in discourses. The paper attempts to conduct Critical Metaphor Analysis approach to the analysis of Chinese Government Work Report. With collecting the data of Chinese Government Work Report in 2018 from official website, the paper aims to analyze its potential metaphorical functions and reveal the hidden ideology of the Chinese government work report. Meanwhile, the present paper is supposed to provide a new perspective to the theoretical research in the area of CMA. Besides, it is expected that the research will help government promote its political ideology and help the populace understand better the policies of our government.
