As an integration of map and visual metaphor, metaphorical map has become a new means for cultural communication in the "Image Age". However, related studies are still in their infancy and the fundamental theoretical issues such as the conceptualization, generation mechanism, and discourse production principle remain underexplored. Most importantly, there exists no unified framework for metaphorical map design, which have substantially hindered the progress of theoretical innovation and practical application. Aiming to fill in these research gaps and taking the generative mechanism and discourse production principle as the breakthrough points, this paper first elaborates the concept of "map" from the perspective of semiotics, and on this basis defines the basic concept and connotation of metaphorical map from the lens of cognitive linguistics and identifies the two basic characteristics of metaphorical map, namely the figurativeness and polysemy. Second, we unravel the generation mechanism of metaphorical map -"similarity fusion - similarity highlighting - symbolization"- through clarifying the principle of visual metaphor. Third, we propose the symbolic fabric principle based on "syntagmatic relation - paradigmatic relation" and the semantic transfer principle of "point-generation" after clarifying the principle of discourse production of metaphorical map in reference to language semiotics. Finally, we construct a theoretical framework for the design of metaphorical map-“defining subject, choosing metaphor, and creating context”, and further demonstrate its rationality and operability with practical cases. This paper provides theoretical reference for the in-depth research and practical application of metaphorical map.
