The result shows that the cognitive process in producing metaphorical process is done by using associative strategies by showing the correspondences between the source concept and the target concept. To analyze, I used identity method, distributional method, and reflective-introspective methods. The method used is observation and intuition. The data were collected randomly from the sources like conversation, news, or bahasa Indonesia used in Indonesian newspapers.

The data used for explaining the cognitive process are the metaphorical expressions found in bahasa Indonesia. This paper is trying to elaborate how the cognitive process happens when someone is producing metaphorical expressions. The cognitive process is the focus of this study especially in producing metaphorical expressions.
