Abstract: Based on the dual background of cognitive linguistics development and speculative absence, this paper explores the path of critical thinking ability cultivation from the relevant theories of cognitive linguistics. As an important cognitive mechanism, metonymy plays an indispensable role in the cultivation of students’ critical thinking ability. Combining the theory of metonymy in cognitive linguistics, this paper takes English reading teaching as an example to explore how to cultivate students’ critical thinking ability through the classroom design of metonymic thinking in foreign language teaching, so as to enhance the fun and effectiveness of English learning.
