This study examined the effectiveness of a cognitive linguistics (CL) approach in improving the foreign-language learner's knowledge of English polysemous verbs (i.e., hold, put, run). An original test was administered to Japanese learners of English as a foreign language in order to assess their knowledge of the target verbs. While taking the test, one group (i.e., the CL approach group) was allowed to read a text explaining the core and peripheral senses of each target verb; the other group (i.e., the control group), in contrast, took the test without such supplementary materials. Results showed no statistically significant difference in the test scores between the CL approach and the control group. This finding implies that simply introducing the core and peripheral senses of polysemous verbs may not induce learning by itself.
