This is Part 7 of the serial paper about the way to teach English expressions in terms of the conceptual categorization. We propose that there could be no other efficient and effective way than to memorize English expressions systematically in terms of their images and categories acquired and stored in human brains. The specific examples dealt with here are 'spend much money / time', 'save money / time' and so on, whose semantic changes can be viewed through metaphorical filters. This shows that we have the cognition by which we linguistically organize our external world through a kind of metaphorical filter such as TIME IS money (Cf. G. Lakoff and M. Johnson (1980, 1999)). So, the main purpose of this paper is intended to confirm how effectively conceptual metaphor works as an aid (1)to revealing semantic changes of various kinds of English words and, then, (2)phrases, and to categorizing them.
