Liu, Mengna, and Jinshi Chen. "A Critical Metaphor Analysis of Anti-telefraud Public Legal Education Discourse." International Journal of Linguistics, Literature and Translation 5, no. 3 (2022): 108–13. http://dx.doi.org/10.32996/ijllt.2022.5.3.14.
Full textAbstract:
Nowadays, news media provides an important platform for knowledge dissemination of public legal education (PLE) and combating fraud is one of the most important topics in PLE news reports. WAR, ANIMAL and CONTAINER metaphors are three important metaphors that frequently appear in anti-telefraud PLE discourse. The present paper analyzes the role of the three metaphors in English and Chinese anti-telefraud PLE discourse based on the framework of critical metaphor analysis. Specifically speaking, the paper focuses on two research questions: 1) How WAR, ANIMAL and CONTAINER metaphors are used in PLE discourse that serves for anti-fraud activity. 2) Whether, if so, how do the metaphors achieve the function of evaluation and persuasion in PLE discourse. Our analysis shows that WAR, ANIMAL and CONTAINER metaphors construct different metaphor scenarios in anti-telefraud PLE discourse, highlighting different aspects of telecom fraud. Moreover, WAR, ANIMAL, and CONTAINER metaphors, as a very powerful tool for framing reality of telecom fraud and anti-telefraud topic, play an important role in simplifying and facilitating the understanding of telecom fraud and anti-telefraud process; they also enhance the effects of persuasion by its role of expressing “evaluative stances” on the perceived reality.

Full textAbstract:
This study aimed to determine the metaphorical song lyrics in English textbooks in senior high school. This research is descriptive qualitative. This research's object is the Metaphor found in song lyrics in English textbooks in senior high school. Sources of data in this study are song lyrics found in English textbooks in senior high school. The songs included in the English textbooks are: 1. The world is ours by Alloe Black and David Correy; 2. Heal The World by Michael Jackson; 3. Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson; 4. Shake It Off by Taylor Swift. The method used by researchers is documentation in collecting data and analyzing data. In analyzing the data, the researcher used a Metaphor based on Lakoff and Johnson's theory, namely structural metaphors, orientation metaphors, and ontological metaphors. These are: containers and personifications. The results showed six structural Metaphors, five orientation metaphors, one container metaphor and two personification metaphors.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the features of metaphorical representation of the VIE concept in popular French-language songs. The research methodology is based on the postulates of the cognitive and discursive paradigm, the theory of conceptual metaphor, and the theory of metaphorical modeling. The methods used are contextual analysis, discourse analysis, metaphorical modeling, description, generalization, and classification. The material for this study was 150 metaphorical contexts used to describe the VIE concept in popular French-language songs of the 21st century. The study revealed that French ontological metaphors can be divided into two groups: object metaphors and container metaphors. In the first case, metaphorization is based on external, perceived characteristics of an object as an entity of the physical world. Life, conceptualized as an object, consists of parts, has color and weight, is illuminated or in the shadow, and has several sides. The object can be controlled, interacted with, and transferred to other subjects. In the second case, attention is focused on the internal space of the object (container), separated from the outside world by a boundary. The “Container” frame illustrates background knowledge that some objects (containers) have an internal space in which substances or other objects can be placed. Metaphors of this frame are used to represent various psychological states that, like substances, can fill life, conceptualized as a container with an internal volume. Also, knowledge that containers can be empty and full is used in modern French song discourse to describe the meaninglessness of life (empty container) and the saturation of life with meanings and emotions (filled container).

Full textAbstract:
The study of conceptual interaction has attracted the attention of many scholars in Cognitive Linguistics. Primarily, the analysis has focused on the role of image-schemas in the construction of metaphors. This study explores the PATH and the CONTAINER image-schemas and the role they play in conceptual formation of metaphors in political discourse in Kenya. The study presents the PATH and its subsidiary image schemas of Verticality, Process and Force-Motion and the CONTAINER image-schema and the subsidiary image-schemas of Excess and In-Out. The analysis reveals that both the PATH and the CONTAINER image-schemas structure the relationship between the source domains (journey and container) and the target domain (politics) by activating subsidiary image-schemas in metaphors of politics in Kenya. The study further reveals that image-schemas provide the axiological value (positive or negative) of metaphorical expressions in political discourse. A positive political environment is a key ingredient for green growth and knowledge economy. The study contributes to the field of metaphor in political discourse by examining the politicians’ conceptualization of politics as a journey, which consists of four structural elements (a source, a destination, contiguous locations which connect the source and the destination and a direction) and as a container, which consists of an interior, an exterior and a boundary. The study used the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) as a tool to establish conceptual metaphors used during the 2005 Draft Constitution referendum campaigns in Kenya and the Image-Schema Theory to account for the presence of image-schemas in political discourse in Kenya. Lakoff and Johnson’s (1980) Conceptual Metaphor Theory is the locus classicus of the image schema theory.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the analysis of ontological metaphors, actualized for the conceptualization of anger in the German language. The vast majority of modern research into metaphorical representation of emotives are carried out on the example of structural metaphors, which undeservedly underscores the role of ontological metaphors, which belong to the earlier stage of categorization of the world in ontogenesis, and therefore require primary attention in the analysis of metaphorical conceptualization of basic emotions. Based on German lexicographic sources, the article reveals the main ontological metaphors involved in describing the emotions of anger. The first ontological metaphor ZORN IST CONTAINER describes anger as an object of the material world with an internal space into which an angry person is placed. The second conceptual metaphor ZORN IST SUBSTANZ interprets anger as a liquid or gaseous substance. This understanding of anger is usually combined with the MENSCH IST CONTAINER conceptual metaphor, creating the image of a person as a container that is filled with anger. The third version of the ontological metaphorization of the concept under consideration is ZORN IST WESEN. This conceptual metaphor represents anger either as an active agent, as an ontological unit that can generate a casual series of events (ZORN IST AKTIVES WESEN), or as an object that can be manipulated, or which is exposed to external forces (ZORN IST PASSIVES WESEN).

Full textAbstract:
This research examines conceptual metaphors as defined by Lakoff and Johnson, focusing on three types: structural, ontological, and orientational. The study analyzes an editorial from Goal.com titled, "Arsenal have no margin for error! Gunners told Liverpool showdown is 'must-win' in title race just eight games into 2024-25 season," using a qualitative approach grounded in cognitive semantic theory to explore the nuanced meanings conveyed through metaphor in sports commentary. Known for its in-depth and timely football analysis, Goal.com offers insights into how metaphors enhance fans' understanding of competitive sports narratives. Data collection involved close reading and note-taking, identifying instances of structural, ontological, and orientational metaphors, along with their source and target domains and image schemas. Findings reveal five structural metaphors, which use schemas such as Scale and Force to emphasize competitive intensity; four ontological metaphors, drawing on Container, Force, and Existence schemas to illustrate team pressures; and one orientational metaphor, using the Container schema to deepen spatial and relational context in the text. This study highlights the role of sports media metaphors in shaping public perception, making abstract concepts like competition and resilience more tangible. By framing sports challenges in relatable, high-stakes terms, these metaphors foster emotional engagement among fans, creating a shared understanding of a team's journey and pressures and underscoring the powerful influence of metaphor in sports narratives.

 The article deals with the investigation of conceptual metaphors as a means of realizing SELF-ALIENATION concept in the English science fiction. The study is based on the conceptual metaphor theory which states that metaphors incorporate thought, language and speech (Lakoff &Johnson, 2003). Conceptual metaphor modelling appears to be productive to analyze the structure of metaphors, since it is based on the interrelation between source and target domains and their mapping. SELF-ALIENATION concept is characterized by the range of conceptual metaphor models, among which SELF IS CONTAINER, SELF IS DISCLOSURE, SELF IS LIQUID and SELF IS DIGITAL UNIT are most frequently used in the English science fiction. SELF IS CONTAINER model is represented by the lexemes ‘personality’, ‘body’, ‘identity’ and ‘individuality’ which best represent the essence of the SELF-ALIENATION concept revealing implicit author’s intentions.

Full textAbstract:
The position standardly held in cognitive linguistics is that anger is an emotion concept that communicates about human thinking and which is instantiated in language in ways that are often metaphorically, systematically, and conceptually structured. The container metaphor is claimed to be near-universal (Kövecses 2000), but also subject to variation (Kövecses 2005). Variation in metaphor frequencies across languages has also been investigated (Boers & Demecheleer 1997; Boers 1999; Deignan 2003; Kövecses et al. 2015). This article reports a corpus-based contrastive investigation of anger metaphors in American English and Kabyle — a Tamazight language variety spoken in the northern part of Algeria. Its main objective is to contrast these metaphors and try to find out the most used ones in these languages through a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the token frequency of linguistic expressions belonging to each of the conceptual metaphors, the type frequency of their linguistic realizations, and the number of their mappings. Aspects of the anger scenario are also studied and contrasted. The findings indicate similarities and differences in the use of anger metaphors in the two languages. The three most frequently used metaphors in American English involve the container, possessed object and opponent source domains while the most frequently used ones in Kabyle involve the fire, container and possessed object source domains. These results confirm the near-universality of the container metaphor. However, the most frequently used metaphorical source domain concept is different in the two languages due to sociocultural influences. In addition, the findings relating to aspects of the anger scenario (intensity and control) support Lakoff and Kövecses’ (1987) prototype model of anger, although it is found to be influenced by sociocultural specificities in American English and Kabyle.

Abstract The paper focuses on metaphors based on the image schemas of container and force that were employed by U.S. President Barack Obama in the campaign against ISIL (The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant). Systematic metaphors based on the schemas of container and force illustrate the strategy of the international alliance against ISIL’s activity. The strategy included the isolation of the organization, the restriction of the flow of foreign fighters and financial resources to the area controlled by ISIL as well as planning military operations designed to weaken the influence of the organization. The analysis has been conducted on the corpus of political speeches delivered by the speaker in the period from June 2014 to September 2016. Theoretical framework that is employed in the analysis of primary data is grounded in Critical Metaphor Analysis (CMA) which explores ideological aspects of discourse.

AbstractThe literature provides diverging perspectives on the universality and stability of economic metaphors over time. This article contains a diachronic analysis of economic metaphors describing trade in a corpus of 225 years of US State of the Union addresses (1790–2014). We focused on two types of change: (i) replacement of a source domain by another domain and (ii) change in mapping within a source domain. In our corpus, five source domains of trade were predominant: (i) PhysicalObject, (ii) Building, (iii) Container, (iv) Journey, and (v) LivingBeing. Only the relative frequency of the Container source domain was related to time. Additionally, mappings between source and target domains were mostly stable. Nevertheless, our analyses suggest that the Trade metaphors in our corpus are related to concreteness in a more nuanced way as typically assumed in conceptual metaphor theory: metaphors high in the concreteness dimension of physicality and low in the concreteness dimension of specificity are likeliest to be used over longer time periods, by providing communicators with freedom to adjust the metaphor to changing societal circumstances.

Full textAbstract:
This paper, based on the theory of conceptual metaphors, uses sports news headlines from the Qatar World Cup as the research object and systematically analyzes the patterns of metaphor application in sports news. The study found that there are three main types of conceptual metaphors in sports news headlines: structural metaphors are the most abundant, including the war metaphor that compares football matches to war (e.g., "迎战" and "备战") and the journey metaphor that views the match process as a journey (e.g., "首发" and "全场"); orientation metaphors express changes in status through up and down concepts, such as using "暴涨" and "晋级" to indicate positive states, and "止步" to express adverse outcomes; entity metaphors are primarily based on container metaphors, using terms like "挺进" and "入围" to conceptualize match stages as spaces that can be entered. These metaphorical expressions utilize familiar concepts to explain abstract sports content, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of news headlines and the efficiency of information dissemination and reflecting the value of metaphors as an important cognitive tool in news communication.

Taking as bases the well-known idea that in Cognitive Semantics metaphor, a conceptual rather than a linguistic phenomenon, is considered to be a series of conceptual mappings from a source to a target domain ( cfr. Johnson Lakoll and Turner) and such image-schemata (cfr. Johnson and Lakort) as the container and the path ones, which consist of some structural elements and a basic logic, I analyze some metaphors for emotions, particularly those which express happiness and sadness, two concepts provided with opposite axiological values. Antonio Barcelona studied the same topic a decade ago. My analysis shares some of his ideas, but it differs from his in several points. This article will deal with metaphors based on the container andver ticality schemas, as well as with other complementary metaphors in order to finish by conunenting on the force schema, as postulated by Johnson, and drawing some conclusions regarding the container image-schema.

This study is titled "Conceptual Metaphor in Niponica Magazine No.33: Nihon no Bungaku wo Tabisuru." Conceptual metaphor is a form of mental construction derived from human experience. The features of metaphors are generally found in various informational media aimed at conveying information to be well understood. This study aims to describe conceptual metaphors in Niponica Magazine No.33. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative analysis, with the theory applied being the conceptual metaphor theory by Lakoff & Johnson (1980) and the image schema theory by Croft & Cruse (2004). Based on the findings, there are three types of metaphors in a total of 13 data points: 4 structural metaphor data points, 4 orientational metaphor data points, and 5 ontological metaphor data points. There are 5 types of image schemas: Existence, Unity, Identity, Container, and Force. The use of metaphors in magazine writing not only serves as decoration but also deepens the understanding of the concepts conveyed.

Full textAbstract:
Metaphor plays a vital role in human communication and its presence is evident in various discourses across genres. Nevertheless, there is a scarcity in the study of metaphors used among different genders especially in religious discourse. Thus, the current study aims to examine metaphor use in religious motivational speeches between two (male and female) speakers. A corpus-based approach, that involved analysis of keywords, collocation, and concordance, was selected in identifying linguistic metaphors while conceptual mapping (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980) was chosen to identify conceptual metaphors in both corpora. The main data consist of four speeches of Yasmin Mogahed (YM Corpus) and four speeches of Nouman Ali Khan’s speeches (NAK Corpus) retrieved from their YouTube Channels. #LancsBox 5.0 was chosen as the tool in analysing the language patterns. From the findings, it can be concluded Yasmin used a higher frequency of metaphors compared to Nouman. This is evident from the results in the collocation analysis in YM corpus that showed seven collocates (‘SWT’, ‘heart’, ‘foundation’, ‘healthy’, ‘fear’, ‘solid’, and ‘fill’) were predetermined to have signals of metaphorical expressions as compared to NAK corpus that only has four collocates (‘evil’, ‘syirik’, ‘religion’, and ‘faith’) with signals of metaphorical expressions. It is also apparent that the variety of metaphors used by Yasmin is more diverse (BUILDING, HUMAN/LIVING ORGANISM, TREE, and CONTAINER metaphors) as compared to Nouman that only uses COMPUTER FILE and CONTAINER metaphors. Yasmin’s choice of metaphors seems to be heavily influenced with the common metaphors used in the Qur’an, while Nouman’s lack choice of metaphors indicate his preference in explaining religious concepts through literal explanation instead of metaphorical one. Future studies are recommended to have a bigger sample to better differentiate the metaphor usage between genders. It is also imperative for future research to further examine the implications of different choice of metaphors on the construction of meaning in the Islamic motivational religious corpus between different genders.

Full textAbstract:
This study identified and analyzed metaphors related to the lived experience of young-onset dementia that were used in nine illness narratives written by people with the condition. A final set of 1111 MEs sorted into 30 source domain categories were grouped according to six target domain categories reflecting the biologic (the person with dementia’s body/brain), psychologic (suffering with dementia, coping with dementia, dementia itself, the person with dementia), and social (the social experience of dementia) aspects of having dementia. Notably, many of the metaphors were similar to previously reported metaphors of illness, such as fight and journey, and other metaphors of embodiment, as well as disease as enemy, body as container, and body as machine. In addition, although negative conceptualizations were in the majority, almost one-third of the metaphoric expressions, belonging to the fight and journey source domain categories, reflected mainly positive images. The commonality of metaphor types with those of other illness experiences supports the notion of shared metaphors across illness contexts. Moreover, in contrast to the dehumanizing and stigmatizing terms that have previously been used to socially construct dementia, the positivity of metaphoric images identified here indicates the authors’ proactive and affirming conceptualizations of their experience of dementia. Health care professionals can draw on this study’s findings to help their own patients make sense of and cope with dementia.

Abstract This article analyses the use of (deliberate) metaphors in political discourse produced by French-speaking Belgian regional parliamentarians during non-institutional political interviews. The article first investigates if the use of deliberate metaphor limits itself to a particular type of political discourse (i.e. public and institutional political discourse) or if metaphor use is also found in other types of settings (i.e. non-institutional political discourse). Second, the article analyses the variation of deliberate metaphor use between political actors depending on gender, seniority and political affiliation. To this end, the article applies Steen’s (2008) three-dimensional model of metaphor analysis on biographical interviews conducted with French-speaking Belgian regional parliamentarians (RMPs). Our results indicate that RMPs, when using non-deliberate metaphors, mostly rely on source domains such as construction, battle and relationships. This is in contrast with the use of deliberate metaphors, where source domains like sports, nature and container take the upper hand.

Full textAbstract:
Existing research on EFL learners’ attitudes towards English language textbooks primarily investigates metaphors at the level of mental spaces, limiting insights into embodied cognition and experience. This study extends the analysis of metaphors to a more schematic level of domains/frames. We analyzed 163 metaphors from 123 Chinese university students’ perceptions of English language textbooks under the guidance of Conceptual Metaphor Theory and the meta-functions of metaphors in language education. Findings reveal textbooks’ three primary roles in learning English as i) a guide in a journey, ii) a cornerstone of a building, and iii) an appetizer in eating. The Chi-Square Test of Independence showed a moderate association between metaphor sources and emotional valence, with nature and container metaphors associated with negative evaluations. The combination of discourse analysis and statistical analysis highlights learners’ physical and emotional engagement with English language textbooks. Pedagogical implications are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Every song has lyrics and every lyric undeniably contains one or two messages or ideas that a songwriter wants to express. That being said, songwriters usually use conceptual metaphors to make their songs aesthetically audible and emotionally evoking to the heart of the listeners when they hear the song or when they understand of what was written in the lyrics. Unlike the previous research that merely focused on the types of conceptual metaphors but failed to analyze the image schemas of the metaphors, this research aims at finding and describing how conceptual metaphors as well as the image schemas of the metaphors are used in Kahitna’s song lyrics. The data were analysed on the basis of Conceptual Metaphor Theory from Lakoff and Johnson’s (1980) and Kovecses’s (2010) and also Saeed’s Image Schema (2016). The research shows that there are nine conceptual metaphors found in Kahitna’s song lyrics: “Passion of Love is Sea,” “Love Story is Journey,” “Difficulty in Relationship is Journey,” “Goal of the Lovers is Journey,” “Deepest Heart is Sea,” “Heart is Container,” “Love is Container,” “Love is Concrete Object,” and “Longing is Waves.” In addition, Containment schema, Path Schema, and Force Schema are also found in this research.

Full textAbstract:
While metaphors for the human mind have been intensively discussed across multiple disciplines, there remains a gap on how Buddhism deals with the mind metaphorically. This study explores how Mahāyāna Buddhist discourse resorts to embodied and discursive metaphors in describing and explaining the mind. Buddhist texts analyzed are the Treatise on the Awakening of Faith According to the Mahāyāna and its two commentaries by Wŏnhyo. The Awakening of Faith discourse abounds in metaphors for the sentient being’s mind in two aspects: the ordinary phenomenal mind and the transcendental essential mind. The focus of this study is on the relationship between the seemingly opposing two minds, and the ways in which these two opposites are unified metaphorically. To do so, I first examine how the essential mind, which is said to transcend ordinary experience and verbal expression, is made speakable through primary metaphors and NON-CONTAINER (unboundedness) image schema, and how the phenomenal mind is metaphorically understood according to the covarying scalar properties in primary metaphors. With respect to the argument for harmonizing the two minds, in which introducing more apt analogical metaphors is important, two representative discursive metaphors (a mirror metaphor and an ocean metaphor) are compared and discussed.

Abstract Compared to metaphors about God in the Bible, those in other Christian contexts seem to receive little academic attention. To bridge this gap, this study examines metaphors gathered from gospel songs on Billboard and iTunes to analyze the abstract concept of God from a cognitive linguistic viewpoint through extending the framework of Conceptual Metaphor Theory. Our findings indicate that while diverse kinds of metaphors focus on the multi-dimensionality of God such as his characteristics (e.g., GOD IS A MAGICIAN and GOD IS A LOVER), outline (e.g., GOD IS A CONTAINER and GOD IS LIQUID), and supreme status (e.g., GOD IS HIGH), structural metaphors tend to represent the overwhelming majority and thus form the basis for the structural-metaphor-dominant phenomenon. In addition, the flawless figure of God is suggested to result from the PERFECTION image schema which is responsible for hidden aspects in related metaphorical structures. Furthermore, metaphors about divine images, having their mapping details enriched by biblical context, are suggested to possess recessive metaphor inheritance. Finally, the rhythm of ‘chain of metaphors’ is proposed to interpret how the spirit of the songs about the divine being are brought out. This study sheds light on our overall understanding of the concepts of God in Christian culture, and contributes to the development of interdisciplinary studies concerning metaphor, religion, cognition, and culture.

The study aims to discover lexical metaphors in Westlife's selected song lyrics. Specifically, it was to reveal the types and source domains of the metaphors. Swear It Again, If I Let You Go, Flying Without Wings, I Have a Dream, and Fool Again, which are the legendary boy band's most popular songs according to TraxFM (2017), were selected as the data sources. The study applied the qualitative descriptive method, the study focused on exploring the nature of the study object as proposed by Kothari (2004). Since the phenomena investigated are metaphors in song lyrics, the study adapted Schmitt's (2005) concept of metaphor analysis. The study's data are all metaphors in the five songs of Westlife (Swear it Again, If I Let You Go, Flying Without Wings, I Have a Dream, and Fool Again), which TraxFM (2017) considers as the boy band's best songs ever. The data MIP-Praglejazz was employed to identify the metaphors in those selected song lyrics. The study found: (1) the selected song lyrics contained 15 structural, 24 ontological, and only two orientational metaphors; (2) Most of the metaphors have a concrete thing as their source domain, such as living thing, traveler, place, flame, sunrise, container, bird, and object. It can be inferred that: (1) the song lyrics are dominated by ontological and structural metaphors, and (2) the metaphors are mainly constructed of concrete concepts, which humankind are so familiar with in their daily life. Detailed findings will be presented, and their implications will be discussed.

In this article, an attempt is made to analyse metaphors which appeared in Jerzy Urban’s columns, which were published in a weekly magazine entitled “No”. The present author applied Lakoff and Johnson’s (1980) cognitive theory and used their division of metaphors into three types: orientational, ontological and structural. The observer’s metaphors which are used for construal of reality can present the existing reality. The author examined standard patterns of orientational metaphors: MORE IS HIGHER, FUTURE IS FORWARD, and the ontological metaphor: A CONTAINER. As regards structural metaphors, she referred to the use of source domains: THEATRE, ACTOR, WAR, CHIEF, GAME, SPORT, ANIMAL, DISEASE. In the columns, which present the writer’s subjective outlook, metaphors create the reality reflecting the observer’s opinions and ways of conceiving of the world. They perform a cognitive and persuasive function at the same time. The reader subconsciously starts to behave according to the mechanism of the cognitive theory.

Metaphor is one of interesting objects to be research for its rich cognition and use. This study aims at investigating the conceptualization of heart metaphors and to describe the image schemas of heart metaphors. The data of the study were collected from Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) which provides significant data relevant to the study. This is a literature study using a qualitative descriptive study through the framework of the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) proposed by Lakoff and Johnson. After the selection of metaphorical expressions of heart, the analysis was conducted to categorize the conceptual metaphor of each selected data. The image schemas were then drawn in accordance to the concept given. The study found that people mainly use metaphors to state these three types of concepts of heart metaphors, they are; HEART IS A CONTAINER, HEART IS AN OBJECT, and HEART IS HUMAN/BEING. These main concepts were then elaborated into several smaller categorizations. There are three image schemas drawn in accordance to the types of the conceptual metaphors like containment schema, compulsion schema, and removal of restraint schema. Then, image schemas are helpful to draw the mapping of abstract thing of target domain into more concrete thing of target domain.

This research is a cognitive semantic study using qualitative methods on conceptual metaphors used in reporting on the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan. The theory used is conceptual metaphor theory by Lakoff and Johnson (2003) and image schema theory by Croft and Cruse (2004). The data collection method used was the method of free-living and proficient viewing, while the data review method used was the referential equivalent method. The data was taken from six online news articles in the Japanese-language NHK newspaper. This study aims to describe the classification of conceptual metaphors and image schemes that appear in the news regarding the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan. There were 13 data found, which were divided into 3 structural metaphors, 4 orientational metaphors, and 6 ontological metaphors. Based on the image schema, the data is also divided into 5 forces, 4 scales, 1 space, 1 existence, and one schemes container. The concept mapping of the metaphor in this study is the depiction of COVID-19 as an enemy, government policies as medicine, and the process of handling COVID-19 as a way forward on the road. In terms of image schema, the metaphor used tends to be a force, depicting COVID-19 as an opponent or obstacle.

Abstract The analysis of the different ideological constructions around the languages of Spain shows two main metaphors that support the linguistic conflict experienced in the last three or four decades: the container metaphor (languages conceived as entities that are completely independent of each other) and the ecological metaphor (each language occupies a specific niche for historical reasons). The study of complexity provides a new metaphor as a new solution for this conflict, i.e. the eco-biosociological metaphor, which is based on the assumption that what is human cannot be explained exclusively by biological factors, but instead by communicative action in cooperation with others above all. To illustrate the first two metaphors, in this paper we consider the linguistic position of two new parties: En Marea and En Comú-Podem.

Metaphor is the use of language that is effective and expressive which causes metaphors to be found in the use of creative language, especially songs or poetry. Metaphors are now used in popular songs, especially in dangdut koplo songs. This research is supported by conceptual metaphor theory and image schema theory. The objective of this study is to explore any metaphors in the concept of 'heart' in song lyrics and how the concept of 'heart' is conceptualized in these collections of popular koplo songs. This study uses descriptive qualitative research design that consistent with the aims of this research. Data obtained by means of documentation. The data used is a collection of popular Javanese songs sung by Denny Caknan. In collecting data using documentation techniques. The data that has been collected is then analyzed using the direct element distribution and selection technique, which is realized by selecting song lyrics that contain the heart lexicon. Furthermore, the results of data analysis will be presented with an informal method. Based on the results of the analysis, there are two types of metaphors from the category of conceptual metaphors, namely ontological metaphors and structural metaphors. Two types of metaphors were also found from the image schema category, namely containment image schema and force image schema. From the analysis, it can be concluded that in Denny Caknan’s song represent some of conceptualization of the ati ‘heart’ metaphor, those are; (1) 'THE HEART IS HUMAN', (2) ‘HEART IS A CONTAINER CAN BE FILLED’, and (3) ‘THE HEART IS AN ENTITY CAN HANG OR GRASP’.

This study aims at finding the use of life metaphors in tetralogy Laskar Pelangi (hereinafter TLP). Data were analyzed in the framework of the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) by using a descriptive qualitative approach. We found 21 life metaphors in TLP and the finding shows that the conceptual metaphor of life as a target domain is mapped into several diverse source domains, and they are: life is a fluid in a container, life is a journey, life is a living organism, life is a precious possession, life is dedication to others, life is a struggle,life is guidance, life is war, and life is hard work. It can be concluded that TLP is rich with the use of metaphors in describing the cultural events of the Malays in detail. The way how the Malay master the problems in their lives, how they see and understand the world, is made clear by their language, which is reflected in conceptual metaphors. The results of this research support the idea that metaphors are not just rhetorical devices to say something more stylistically but they are conceptual in nature and its existence can be different in each culture.

This research aims to reveal the use of conceptual metaphors in curatorial texts using the Conceptual Metaphor theory proposed by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson (2003). In addition, this research also analyzes the relationship between the metaphor’s source domain and target domain. It uses a descriptive qualitative research method. The stages of this research are problem formulation, data collection, data analysis, data interpretation, and conclusion. The research results show that in the curatorial text of the Manifesto VIII exhibition, there are 39 metaphorical linguistic expressions, consisting of 10 structural metaphors, two orientational metaphors, and 27 ontological metaphors. The ontological metaphors found in this curatorial text are divided into three categories: first, personifying a thing or object as a human being; second, considering an object as a container with spatial content; and third, attaching concrete qualities to abstract things. Of the three categories, the curator gives more human qualities to inanimate objects (17 metaphorical linguistic expressions). It is in line with the aim of curatorial texts, which is to build the audience’s emotional involvement with the art narrative.

Full textAbstract:
According to “the” definition, metaphors conceptualize an abstract noun (i.e. a noun that is relatively burdensome to construe like ‘anger’, ‘love’, ‘life’, etc.) through a concrete one / ones. The first domain is called target, the latter is called source; and the link (mapping) between these two is based upon (1) a perceptual or / and (2) a culture-bound association. A prime example of a mixed type association could be sometimes, life (abstract) is like a boxing match (concrete): you have to push through life’s hardships! Although voluminous data about the metaphors of anger in linguistically rather diverse languages (like Hungarian, American English, Spanish, etc.) are available, these publications do not cover the two linguæ francæ of the historical Nusantara, Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Melayu. According to the experts’ literature, anger is often and language-independently (!) conceptualized as ‘a substance in a container’, as ‘an opponent’, as ‘a weapon’ or as ‘an object belonging to someone’; however, the salience of these metaphors shows slight differences (Kövecses / Szelid / Nucz et al. 2015). In this paper, we will discuss whether anger is conceptualized similarly in Bahasa Indonesia. As there is a wide selection of words for anger / angry (marah, kesal, sebal, jengkel, gusar, ngegas, gondok, etc.) that represents diatopic and diastratic variations, and even semantic differences, we had conducted a frequency of occurrence analysis in Google to find the most salient term. Based on this very term, we performed interviews with ten native speakers, gathered metaphors, and, after a primary evaluation of the data, we classified them according to their respective metaphoric concept (‘substance in a container’, etc.). Subsequently, we also tried to identify culture- / language-specific metaphors or metaphoric patterns that yet cannot be found in the specialist literature, and looked at the reasons behind the existence of these metaphoric concepts.

This study delves into the role of image schemas in language with a specific focus on their presence in the construction of metaphors in political speeches delivered during the 2018 electoral campaigns in the Kurdistan Region, Iraq. Image schemas refer to recurring patterns of understanding that arise from our bodily movements through space. To achieve this, the study utilizes the Conceptual Metaphor Theory and Image-Schema Theory, which investigate the presence of image schemas in political discourse. The study centers on the PATH, CONTAINER and FORCE image schemas, examining their role in the formation of metaphors and how they structure the relationship between source domains (journey and container) and the target domain (politics). Precisely, the study examines how politicians conceptualize politics as a journey or container, identifying four structural elements that define this relationship. The research also considers the persuasive techniques employed by Kurdish politicians and how they impact voting patterns. Overall, the study shows that image schemas are an essential tool in gaining public support and influencing voters, and they work as source domains for accessing target domains.

Full textAbstract:
This paper attempts to unify recent theorizing on cultural meaning in material culture using the notion of conceptual metaphor. Research in several disciplines suggests that conventional metaphorical concepts are central to cultural cognition. Ethnographic studies and psychological experiments indicate that conceptual metaphors are expressed in numerous forms of human expression, including speech, ritual, narrative, and material culture. Generalizations on the nature and structure of metaphor emerging from cognitive linguistic research can be used to develop methods for reconstructing ancient metaphors from archaeological evidence. In a preliminary application, I argue that pottery designs from the Mesa Verde region of the American Southwest were conceptualized as textile fabrics, and suggest that connections between these media derived from a worldview grounded in container imagery. The ability to decipher conceptual metaphors in prehistoric material culture opens up many new avenues for research, including the role of worldview in cultural evolution, and the discovery of cultural continuities between archaeological cultures and historic ethnolinguistic groups.

Full textAbstract:
The study investigates the concept of authenticity empirically as constructed by Chinese tourists when they visit tourist attractions in Russia with distinct ethnic or local attributes. The corpus of tourists’ reviews has been examined, using a corpus-assisted methodology supported by Wmatrix. A linguistic level of authenticity representation appears to be only a source domain for the conceptual construction of authenticity. Chinese tourists reflect on outer ‘objective’ attributes of authenticity to construct an authenticity of another type. These mental constructs are organized based on the primary ontological and spatial experience. Semantic categories serve as a conceptual source domain that organizes a target domain. The findings show a Chinese tourist conceptualizes authenticity through the metaphors of primary experience, including time-space orientation — PLACE IS A FAR DISTANCE, PAST IS BACK, GOOD IS UP and an ontological metaphor — A TOURED OBJECT IS A CONTAINER. The content of a container is qualified and quantified through a conceptual metaphor of AUTHENTICATING IS LEARNING A CONTAINER. A container is qualified as THE SUPERNATURAL IS A MAGIC PERSON and quantified by a conceptual metaphor UNUSUAL IS LESS.

Full textAbstract:
This article deals with the functioning of the conceptual metaphors in the short stories of Luigi Pirandello (on the material of a collection of short stories "Novelle per un anno"). Conceptual metaphor appears as one of the central objects of studies within cognitive linguistics and represents the process of interaction between two conceptual domains, one of which (the source domain) helps to organize another (target domain). The history of the formation of ideas about the concept of metaphor dates back to the time of antiquity, and to this day there is a continuing growing interest of researchers in the functioning of the metaphor in its interrelation with the language. For a long time, the metaphor was one of the central objects of linguistic research, in particular of rhetoric and stylistics, and was considered solely as a way of poetical expression of the surrounding reality. Thus, in the classical sense a metaphor is a figure of speech, in which occurs an implicit comparison of two objects based on their similarity. In the second half of the twentieth century there is a rethinking of the concept of metaphor, in particular, from the standpoint of cognitive linguistics. Linguists perceive the metaphor as an element of the cognitive process and believe that language and thinking are closely interrelated, and that metaphor appears to be a natural factor in the process of expressing thoughts and ideas about the surrounding world. Thinking is therefore considered to be a metaphorical process, and metaphor is considered to be a key factor in the formation of speech. Within the cognitive paradigm, linguists focus on the functioning of a metaphor in the process of thinking, whereas its ornamental and expressive functions become less important. Through the usage of metaphors, people are able to express their ideas about the surrounding world, as well as to recreate their own thoughts and ideas, which form part of their unique world outlook. The process of formation of conceptual metaphors occurs due to the existence of a number of conceptual correspondences between the elements of the source and target domains, or metaphorical mapping. The presence of structural, orientational and ontological metaphors in speech is a direct reflection of how language and thinking interact closely with one another. These metaphors are the reproduction of the universal human experience, as well as they can be determined by the purely individual peculiarities of the cognitive processes of the individual, due to cultural, biological and perceptual experiences. The cognitive function of structural metaphors is that the speaker is able to understand the content of the target domain through the prism of the source domain. This is achieved through means of conceptual metaphorical mapping of both domains. Orientational metaphors, unlike structural ones, do not form one concept in terms of another; they create a whole new system of concepts in relation to another system. Ontological metaphors operate with abstract concepts related to human existence, which are often quite complex in terms of description or explanation. Ontological metaphors in the short stories of L. Pirandello represent the author's perception and description of the human experience of handling material objects, in particular as regards the human body as a container of emotions and feelings and container metaphors in general, as well as the introduction of personification in relation to emotions. Conceptual metaphors in the short stories of L. Pirandello acquire a positive, neutral and negative evaluative component and are the reflection of the writer's thinking and shaping his conceptual image of the world, in particular concerning conceptual metaphors related to emotions, ideas and states. There are numerous orientational metaphors as well as ontological metaphors related to human experience and abstract concepts. Also, in the short stories of L. Pirandello there are structural metaphors, which are often more or less universal in terms of expressing abstract concepts with the help of concrete ones. After analyzing the examples of the functioning of conceptual ontological, orientational and structural metaphors, it is important to note that in the work of L. Pirandello conceptual metaphors are connected with the psychological state of the characters associated with emotions related to the feeling of the existential crisis, and sometimes to the emotions of despair, sorrow, anxiety, pain. Many of the metaphors also have a relatively neutral evaluative meaning and describe the emotional state of the characters immersed in calm, meditative reflection on their lives. Some metaphors have a positive evaluative meaning, thus creating the contrast effect of the transition from one emotional state to another. Exploring the functioning of conceptual metaphors in L. Pirandello's short stories, it is fair to say that they are an important component of the author's discourse and represent the conceptual image of the writer's world. This gives a reason to conclude that the use of a conceptual metaphor in discourse directly influences the way people perceive the surrounding world, therefore conceptual metaphors are part of thought and discourse formation, and are a reflection of the perception of the world.

Full textAbstract:
Within the social sciences and humanities, especially in the field of cultural studies, research has increasingly been dealing with the dissolution of cultural and social boundaries. However, the question of how interactants perceive themselves and construct and describe their interaction space in a certain ‘culture’ or ‘society’ can only be answered empirically. In this regard, the methodological framework of cognitive metaphor theory has proven to be facilitative. From a cognitive semantics point of view, metaphors by no means refer to an external world in a descriptive sense, but are important mediators between cognition and language, as well as between the individual and society. On the basis of two research projects — one on the metaphorical construction of society in German and Brazilian written and spoken corpora, and another on filmed intercultural interactions in the context of an ongoing research — it will be revealed how participants in communication use culture-specific metaphorizations when localizing themselves and others. In addition, the role of animated ‘compound image schemas’, such as container, outside-inside and up-down, will be explored at the linguistic as well as the gestural level when functioning as ‘patterns of orientation’ and ‘meaning formulas’. While from a communicative-participative perspective such schemas serve to reduce complexity, they are also highly significant from the participants’ own extracommunicative-reflexive point of view where interpretations regarding divergent behavioral patterns are concerned.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this paper is to study how ‘joy’, an emotional concept, is metaphorised in English from a cognitive perspective. It introduces the theoretical framework of Cognitive Linguistics, then briefly touches upon the definition of metaphor, the different types of conceptual metaphors and, finally, the conceptual metaphors of ‘joy’. We think in metaphors, which we learn very early. Our conceptual system, in terms of what we both think and act, is fundamentally metaphorical in nature (Lakoff, & Johnson 2003: 8). Lakoff and Johnson’s book Metaphors we live by changed the way linguists thought about metaphor. Conceptual Metaphor Theory was one of the earliest theoretical frameworks identified as part of the cognitive semantics enterprise and provided much of the early theoretical impetus for the cognitive approach. The basic premise of Conceptual Metaphor Theory is that metaphor is not simply a stylistic feature of language, but that thought itself is fundamentally metaphorical in nature. The cognitive model of joy can be described using the example of Lakoff for anger: JOY IS A FLUID IN A CONTAINER: She was bursting with joy; JOY IS HEAT/FIRE: Fires of joy were kindled by the birth of her son; joy is a natural force: I was overwhelmed by joy; JOY IS A SOCIAL SUPERIOR: If I ruled the world by joy; JOY IS AN OPPONENT: She was seized by joy; joy is a captive animal: All joy broke loose as the kids opened their presents; JOY IS INSANITY: The crowd went crazy with joy; JOY IS A FORCE DISLOCATING THE SELF: He was beside himself with joy.

Full textAbstract:
We provide a first documentation and analysis of anger metaphors in Likpakpaln, a little-studied Mabia (Gur) language, primarily spoken in Northern Ghana. We adopt Conceptual Metaphor Theory as the analytical framework for this study. The study of emotional body-part metaphors and their lexicalisation patterns in Likpakpaln is interlaced with nominal and clausal morphosyntax as well as grammatical relations. Anger is conceptualised in terms of li?uul ‘heart’ and we identify five types of clause structures in which anger expressions occur in Likpakpaln. Further, we make out four metaphorical conceptualisations. In an areally prominent conceptualisation that we term ANGER IS HUMAN-LIKE, li?uul ‘heart’ is anthropomorphised as a human-like agent who can ‘catch’, ‘hold’, ‘kill’, or ‘eat’ a person. Other metaphorical conceptualisations are ANGER IS HEAT, AN ANGRY PERSON IS A PRESSURISED CONTAINER, and THE BODY IS A CONTAINER FOR ANGER. All in all, metaphors of anger in Likpakpaln show cross-cultural correspondences and culture-specific construals, thus providing evidence for the cultural embodied prototype theory. The Likpakpaln data also reflects a departure from some general tendencies. For instance, the coding of positive and negative emotion concepts in Likpakpaln is nuanced by the use of particular synonyms of the heart rather than by the selection of different body parts.

The purpose of this study is to find out how the conceptual metaphors in Korean are in the 3 poems by Kim Nam-ju. This study uses descriptive qualitative methods to describe each type of metaphorical data found. The data collection technique used is note-taking and literature study with data in the form of 41 metaphors sourced from 3 poems by Kim Nam-ju. The data obtained were processed by data reduction techniques, data presentation, and determining conclusions. The data are grouped using Lakoff and Johnson's conceptual metaphor theory. As a result, there are 16 structural metaphor data, 10 orientational metaphor data, and 15 ontological metaphor data. Then, based on the image scheme, there are 6 types of image schemes found, there are space 6 data, container 6 data, force 6 data, unity/multiplicity 1 data, identity 15 data, and existence 7 data. So overall it can be concluded that the use of structural metaphors and identity image scheme is the most widely used in this poem.Keywords: conceptual metaphor, poetry, Korean, Kim Nam-ju.

Full textAbstract:
Human’s head takes the most important part in human’s part of body which leads to the frequent use of head in language uses. This study therefore aims to investigate how head is conceptualized through the use of metaphor in Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) and how the conceptual metaphors are projected through image schemas. The data were obtained from Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) as a rich data sources relevant to the study. This study applied qualitative descriptive study through the framework of the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) proposed by Lakoff and Johnson (2008). Sentences which contain head metaphors were selected, analyzed, and categorized to relevant conceptual metaphors through the bridge of mappings to characterize the relationship between two concepts (source and target domains) in the metaphorical process and image schemas. The findings of the study showed that head is mostly metaphorically used as a container which is conceptualized as a head is a container.The most image schemas used are containment schemas which show in-out, full-empty, and surface schemas. The image-schemas have indeed been shown to likely become the basis of numerous metaphorical constructions and have been helpful to understand how people cognize their world.

Full textAbstract:
Empirical research accentuates that blind persons’ command of conventional metaphors does not significantly differ from that of the sighted (Sak-Wernicka, 2017; Minervino et. al., 2018). Still, there are several propositions and theories regarding congenitally-blind persons’ ability of perceiving conceptual metaphors that are based on sensory modalities (e.g. UNDERSTANDING IS SEEING). On basis of Conceptual Metaphor Theory and with the aid of a corpus of natural data, this study investigates how Jordanian congenitally-blind persons perceive and use the CONTANER image-schema following spatial logics that are based on sensory-motor experiences and behaviours. These logics created meanings that are grounded on the speaker’s embodied experiences and conceptualized as spatial schemas of CONTAINMENT, RESISTANCE, MOVEMENT, FORCE, INFILTRATING, ENTERING, and LEAVING. These spatial schemas predominantly reflect the Jordanian congenitally-blind persons’ ‘embodied cognition’ (Johnson, 1987; Gibbs, 2006) and points of view as ‘characters’ or ‘observers’ (Cassell and McNeill, 1991).

<em>The purpose of this research is to describe the spatial aspects of the spatial conceptualization generated by the dominant metaphors found in Acehnese society both related to Acehnese culture and nature. The author uses Lakoff and Johnson's (1980) cognitive semantic conceptual study which is clarified by Cruse &amp; Croft (2004) and Saeed (2009) in describing and analyzing the data. The concept of space is generated which refers to the container (container) and place (space). Container space includes: (1) inside-out concept, (2) full-empty concept, and (3) content concept. Space includes: (1) up-down concept, (2) center-periphery concept, and left-right image concept. the spatial conceptualization generated by the dominant metaphor found in Acehnese society is divided into three main spaces; seuramoe keue (front porch), rumoh inoeng (tungai porch), and seuramoe likoet (back porch) space related to the container (container) is categorized as the concept of container space in Acehnese houses, while the conceptualization of space related to place is categorized as the concept of space in aceh nature. The metaphor of open space in this element includes the entire open space of open nature in all activities. while the conceptualization of space related to place is categorized as the concept of space in Aceh's realm. The metaphor of open space in this element includes the entire open space of open nature in all activities. while the conceptualization of space related to place is categorized as the concept of space in Aceh's realm.

Full textAbstract:
The moon is abundant in imagery, and Chinese poets have expressed various emotions via this imagery. Based on the BLCU Corpus Center (BCC), this paper used the conceptual metaphor framework to analyse the moon imagery and emotions expressed in randomly selected 220 Song Cis. The author counted the frequency of different emotions, grammatical and lexical annotations, and analysed the imagery using specific conceptual metaphors (i.e., structural metaphor, orientation metaphor, ontological metaphor, and container metaphor). The paper also analysed the distribution of different emotions in the poems selected from the corpus using chi-square tests. Through the analysis, the author found that more negative emotions than positive ones were expressed in the selected Cis and that there were more Cis that express personal emotions and fewer that express concerns about society and changing dynasties. This paper draws on the structural, directional and ontological metaphors of conceptual metaphor to analyse the relationship between lexico-grammatical features and emotions expressed in Song Cis. The results revealed that poets used adjectives frequently in expressing different emotions and that more negative emotions were expressed by poets regardless of the dynasties in which those poets lived. This study has implications for future corpus-based analysis of typical imagery in classical Chinese literary works from the perspective of cognitive linguistics.
