Abstract
The research of metaphor understanding is a significant field of cognitive science. Metaphor plays an important role in natural language discourse. There is a close relationship between logic and metaphor. Metaphor can be described by dynamic epistemic logic. This article, we attempt to dynamically describe the process of metaphor understanding from the perspective of formal logic.
