Vision or visual experience has great significance in building our cognition and language. One glance is enough for constructing and storing many concepts about the world around. This study is based on a central question, which is: how does absence of sight affects metaphor comprehension, especially metaphor involves comparing two objects or concepts which may be highly rooted in the visual world? The author adopts the hypothesis in which the congenitally blind children have the ability to comprehend metaphor but they have a delayed onset of acquiring this ability.
