Abstract
This article is a study on Unconventional Indirect Speech Act from a Cognitive point of view. As a result, I confirmed that it was made into Conceptual Metaphor and Conceptual Blending working in the Indirect Speech Act.<BR> In the first, Metaphor refers to a Cognitive process that understands mapping Target domain through Source domain based on the empirical foundation. It is a Conceptual Metaphor that define the Metaphor as ‘A is B’. and I confirmed that the Conceptual Blending theory is a developed theory to solve a phenomenon the Conceptual Metaphor can’t explain.<BR> Second, I tried to analyze the ‘conversational Implicature’, which often appears in Unconventional Indirect Speech Act of modern Chinese, into the Conceptual Metaphor.<BR> And third, I confirmed the Conceptual Metaphor is incomplete to explain Unconventional Indirect Speech Act in Modern Chinese. Therefore, I tried to analyze on Conceptual Blending theory.
