Full textAbstract:
Political metaphor is frequently used in present-day political discourse. Nowadays, political metaphor has become one of the most lapidary, active and effective ways to express political outlooks and political influence. Complex political concepts, which are difficult to understand by everybody in the twinkling of an eye, can be easily understood after a cognitive bridge of the metaphor investigation, which helps people to see the light and understand this or that nation, the cultural inheritance, the ideology and the mode of thinking being formed at a certain historical stage of the country. In general, the article examines military metaphors, substantiates the generality of the metaphor and analyses its metaphoric unicity. Military metaphors are often used in political discourses of the both countries, which comes out as a result of comparing politics with wars. However, the fields and methods of military metaphors used in political discourse of the both countries are different, which reflects the different nationalities of the two peoples.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines three common metaphors in several professional codes of legal conduct and supporting documents. The metaphors are the "metaphoric networks" based on the military, gentility and Christianity. Numerous examples of all three metaphoric networks are given. Metaphors are non-arbitrary. The three metaphoric networks examined here are consistent with one of the most common orientation metaphors in the English language, the metaphor expressing relationships in bodily terms of "up" and "down." These metaphoric networks evoke a hierarchy of society based on a strictly male, ethnocentric British-Canadian world. The lawyer reading the codes of conduct that contain these metaphors would see the image of the lawyer created according to the lawyer's own inclusion within or exclusion from that ideal. Also, this social elitism may contribute to the public's lack of respect for the legal profession.

Military metaphors shape the limits and possibilities for conceptualising and responding to complex challenges of contagion. Although they are effective at communicating risk and urgency and at mobilising resources, military metaphors collapse diverse interests and communities into ‘fronts’, obscure alternative responses, and promote human exceptionalism. In this article, I draw from criticisms of the use of military metaphor in scientific and policy descriptions of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) over the past sixty years on order to compare with and explore the use of military metaphors in descriptions of the COVID-19 pandemic. As AMR research has recognised the importance of symbiotic human–microbe relationships and new areas of interdisciplinary collaboration in recent years, a corresponding decline in the use of military metaphor in scientific discourse has begun to emerge. I ask how the legacy of the military metaphor in AMR research can offer lessons regarding or alternatives to the martial language currently saturating responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK.

Full textAbstract:
Contemporary theory of metaphor highlights its cognitive nature as opposed to traditional view of metaphor as rather a trope. We address the status and significance of conceptual metaphors in English banking terminology. A large-scale corpus analysis of English banking discourse (1888728 words) is conducted to determine how this trope is used. The application of a cognitive approach to a banking discourse has led to identification of metaphoric structures characterizing banking discourse. We confirm the use of terminology system corpus for (organic, mechanical, military, liquid, sports) metaphor models. We prove that banking discourse is highly metaphoric and borrows metaphors from multiple terminological domains. We establish the evolution of certain metaphors. We define the connections between concept areas of cognitive maps. We also prove that not all semes are transferred from the source to the target area, which confirms the connection at the conceptual level. Special attention is paid to the nexus of banking institution and social and political aspects of national cultures. This in turn allows to substantiate and test the theory of conceptual metaphor, and also served as means for a detailed study of conceptual metaphors as a culturally determined phenomenon in language. Given that metaphor is a dynamic cognitive mechanism, we detect diverse ways of metaphorization.

Full textAbstract:
The article focuses on the study of military metaphors which are relevant to the modern Russian and French political (specifically presidential) discourse. In modern linguistics there are two main approaches to studying metaphors: semantic (where metaphor is regarded as a linguistic phenomenon) and cognitive, where it is interpreted as a certain way of constructing the reality. The methodological basis of our research is the theory of metaphorical modeling, which is a synthesis of structural, semantic and cognitive approaches. This article represents a comparative analysis of military metaphors (which are archetypal for political communication) used in the speeches of four presidents of Russia and France of the early 21st century – D. A. Medvedev, N. Sarkozy, V. V. Putin and F. Hollande, and based on the corpora of texts that are examples of political discourse monologues (inaugural, congratulatory, welcoming speeches, etc.). In this study, military metaphors are nominations in which there are signs of military action in the form of opposition to an «enemy» and the use of weapons. The analysis took into account substantive and verbal structural metaphors realizing the conceptual model «Russian / French reality – the ongoing war»; the study also considered extralinguistic factors that influenced the creation of political texts. Text selection took into consideration the degree of importance and relevance of the domestic and foreign policy issues covered in them. The analysis showed that the frequency of military metaphors usage is not identical not only in the speech of different politicians, but also in the discourse of different societies, and demonstrated individual and national specificity of the military metaphors functioning in the political leaders discourse, which was directly related to the topical “agenda” for a country. Thus, it turned out that the French presidents resort to «militant» (in metaphorical terms) discourse more than the two Russian heads of state; the greatest frequency of military metaphors is demonstrated in F. Hollande’s speeches.

Full textAbstract:
The discipline of marketing uses many metaphors. Historically, the dominant metaphors in marketing strategy have been adapted from warfare and military science. The purpose of this conceptual article is to analyze and evaluate commonly used warfare metaphors in marketing strategy. A cross-domain comparison of these metaphors and conceptualizations of war are assessed to determine whether they are still appropriate in light of the advancements in both military science and marketing theory. The analysis found that there are many fundamental and questionable differences between these two domains; therefore, a new conceptual metaphor for marketing strategy is proposed.

Full textAbstract:
Social communication becomes a matter of considerable interest tocontemporary linguistics, and this research branch is interrelated with a speech act theory. Metaphor is one of the most expressive language devices and it is often used in the communication process. It allows one to realize the speaker’s pragmatic intention and to achieve the desired impact on the recipient. Basing on the speech acts theory, the author explores the communicative function of the metaphors selected from the French military vocabulary which dates from the early XX century. The author focuses on the metaphors encoding the military realities and shows that the metaphorical functioning is conditioned by the psychological and pragmatic needs which are closely connected to the everyday professional activity. Furthermore, the use of metaphors in the speech provides the way to manifest the military corporate identity.

Full textAbstract:
A Música Popular Brasileira teve um papel fundamental na disseminação de mensagens contra o sistema político opressor que vigorou no Brasil entre 1964 e 1985. No período do regime militar, qualquer forma de manifestação contra o sistema vigente era considerada subversiva, e seus veiculadores poderiam sofrer sanções como censura, prisão, tortura, deportação, exílio e até a morte. Nesse contexto, muitos artistas foram perseguidos em nome da ordem nacional. Com o cerceamento cada vez mais implacável, restava aos artistas, principalmente, para efeito deste trabalho de pesquisa, aos compositores, buscar formas mais sutis de passar suas mensagens políticas. Uma das maneiras encontradas para furar o bloqueio da Censura foi por meio do uso da linguagem metafórica. Sob esse prisma, Chico Buarque de Hollanda se mostrou mestre. Ele era o artista mais perseguido da época, a ponto de sofrer pré-censura somente pelo fato de ser ele o compositor. Chico conseguia fazer com que suas letras, mesmo sofrendo cortes, ecoassem mensagens de repulsa ao sistema, e burlava de tal forma a Censura que uma de suas letras atingiu em cheio o então presidente da República sem que os militares percebessem. Neste trabalho de pesquisa, pretendemos verificar que tipo de mensagens havia nas músicas políticas de Chico Buarque. Partimos da concepção de que a MPB era uma depositária das angústias e da insatisfação dos compositores com o sistema vigente e de que a linguagem metafórica utilizada apontava para o momento presente sufocado pelo regime militar. Para tal, analisamos 20 músicas compostas por Chico Buarque de Hollanda com base no estudo de metáforas conceptuais desenvolvido por Lakoff & Johnson (2002).<br>The Brazilian musical movement known as MPB (Música Popular Brasileira Brazilian Popular Music) has had a fundamental role in getting across messages against the oppressive political system which prevailed in Brazil between the years of 1964 and 1985. During this period, any kind of manifestation against the military regime was considered subversive and its representatives could be subject to penalties such as censorship, prison, torture, deportation, exhile and even death. In this context, certain artists were persecuted in the name of national peace and order. Some, music composers mainly, could not help but try subtler ways of getting their political messages across. One of the ways to break the walls of the Brazilian Censorship was to use metaphoric language. In doing this, Chico Buarque de Hollanda has proven a genius. He was the most often persecuted artist at the time and his compositions were previously censored just because he was the one that had written them. Even though his lyrics had to be altered many times, Chico Buarque managed to make them echo the disgust towards the government; he was so good at fooling the censors that one of his songs actually caused the president serious harm without the military noticing. In this research, we intend to investigate what kind of messages are to be found in Chico Buarques political songs. Our starting point is that MPB can be seen as a repository of the composers anguish and dissatisfaction with the political regime at the time and that the metaphorical language present in the lyrics depicted that moment as suffocated by the military regime. In order to do so, we have based the analysis of 20 songs written by Chico Buarque de Hollanda on the study of conceptual metaphors developed by Lakoff & Johnson (2002).

Full textAbstract:
The city of Philippi was founded as a Roman military colony in 42 BC, directly following one of the largest battles of antiquity, the civil war battle of Philippi. This study shows that one hundred years later, at the time of writing of Paul’s letter to the Philippians, the identity of the city was still deeply connected to its military history.
The apostle Paul found in the historical and sociological ties of the Philippians with the
military reasons for drafting his letter in a rhetorical arrangement similar to the historical
reports of commander’s speeches to his assembled troops before battle. Not only does the
vocabulary of Paul’s ethical commands parallel the general’s harangues, as has been
previously pointed out by Biblical scholarship, but in Paul’s letter one also finds
correspondences to the three largest motifs of the general’s speeches: the objective of the
war, the confidence for victory and the rewards for courage and obedience.
The major unified theme of Philippians is the mutual military-partnership for the
advance of the gospel in a hostile context (Phil. 1:7-12; 1:20; 2:19-24; 2:25-30; 3:12-15; 4:3;
4:10-19). Paul in his letter to the Philippians uses consistently military imagery – and not
once athletic imagery, as typically assumed by exegetical scholars – to demonstrate that the
courageous sharing of the faith will always result in victory for the one who proclaims Christ.
This victory is guaranteed through the unsurpassable abilities of the supreme general, Jesus
Christ, whose death on the cross and whose resurrection is portrayed as a military victory
and whose exaltation by God the Father acknowledges Christ as the victorious general in an
universal extent (Phil. 2:8-11). The victory of the gospel campaign is further guaranteed by
the LORD’s initiation of the war for the spread of the faith and by His presence with those
who fight in His behalf for the spread of the good news (Phil. 1:5-7; 2:12-13; 2:14-15; 3:1;
4:4). Victory in the Philippian context means either the reception of the gospel by unbelievers
or the death of the messenger on account of rejection of and opposition to the gospel; the
suffering of the emissary of the gospel serves to glorify Christ and it is compensated by the
superior enjoyment of Christ at the resurrection (Phil. 1:19-25). The reward, which God
promises to the messenger of the gospel is several times stated in Philippians to be the
exalted experience of fellowship with Christ at the resurrection (Phil. 1:21; 3:8-11; 3:20-21;
4:3).
The reading of Philippians in light of the appropriation of military terminology confirms that
Paul’s main purpose in writing Philippians is to encourage his partners to continue to take
risks, to be unafraid of suffering and to make sacrifices in order to boldly testify about Christ
and to continue to financially contribute to the mission of spreading the faith.
The book of Philippians challenges the contemporary self-centred prosperity culture of
the church to take risks and make sacrifices for the proclamation of Christ to unbelievers,
sacrifices, which are supremely compensated by a life for the glory of Christ and the
surpassing promise of the enjoyment of the glory of God in His Son Christ Jesus.<br>Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2013.<br>gm2014<br>New Testament Studies<br>unrestricted

Thesis (MA.)--Stellenbosch University, 2000.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study investigates the image of Yahweh as warrior in a selection of Biblical-Hebrew psalms
against the background of similar images in the broader Ancient Near East. In the psalms this
image is closely linked with the emotions and experience of the psalmist. In the situation of conflict
he calls on Yahweh to intervene and to destroy the enemy. It is in such circumstances that this
image of Yahweh gives the necessary comfort.
In order to investigate the image of Yahweh as warrior in the psalms, this study uses the
Comparative Method. This method is based on the assumption that cultures and societies share
certain ideas and characteristics. The specific approach within the Comparative Method is called
the typological comparative approach. This approach focuses on the comparison of phenomena in
cultures that are historically and geographically far removed from each other. This comparison is
based on the assumption that certain cultural characteristics are universally shared.
In this investigation the following psalms are analysed: 3, 21, 46, 68, 76, 83, 140, 144. The
selection was made on the basis of the different literary genres within the psalms. As a background
to this investigation a summary of warrior terminology and ideas in the rest of the Ancient Near
East is presented. Afterwards the warrior image in the selected psalms is investigated.
The investigation proceeded as follows: Chapter 1 is devoted to the research history with regard to
the image of Yahweh as warrior in the Hebrew Bible; in Chapter 2 the metaphor as literary device
is discussed; and in Chapter 3 the focus is on the institution of war in the Ancient Near East and
the role of warriors in this regard. From Chapters 4 to 11 the warrior metaphors in the selected
psalms are analysed. With each of the analysed psalms the following method is used: (1) a
translation and text-critical notes; (2) a discussion of the literary genre; (3) an analysis of the poetic
elements; and (4) an analysis of the warrior images.
The psalmist's enemies are also Yahweh's enemies. In the psalms where he is portrayed as
warrior, three characters always come to the fore, namely Yahweh, the psalmist and the enemy.
While the enemy is portrayed in terms of typical hostile images, the relationship between Yahweh
and the psalmist is defensive, and offensive between Yahweh and the enemy. In this study it is ,
also shown that when Yahweh intervenes, he saves and restores the honour of the psalmist.
Yahweh is also praised for his acts of salvation in the past. This forms the basis for the psalmist
call to Yahweh to intervene in his situation. He defeats the enemy by making use of different
weapons. The psalmist's enemies are also Yahweh's enemies.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek die voorstelling van Jahwe as kryger in 'n seleksie Bybels-Hebreeuse
psalms teen die agtergrond van soortgelyke voorstellings in die breër Ou Nabye Oosterse konteks.
In die psalms hang hierdie voorstelling ten nouste saam met die emosies en ervarings van die
digter. Die vyand stig gedurig stryd aan en soek die digter se ondergang. In sy situasie van stryd
en aanvegting roep hy tot Jahwe om in te gryp en die vyand te verslaan. Dit is dan juis hierdie
voorstelling van Jahwe wat in dié omstandighede 'n groot gerusstelling is.
In hierdie studie word daar van die Vergelykende Metode gebruik gemaak. Hierdie metode is
gebaseer op die aanname dat kulture en gemeenskappe sekere opvattings en idees met mekaar
deel. Die spesifieke benadering wat binne die Vergelykende Metode gebruik word, word die
Tipologies-Vergelykende benadering genoem. In hierdie benadering handel dit oor die vergelyking
van verskynsels in kulture wat histories en geografies van mekaar verwyderd is. Hierdie
benadering opereer met die aanname dat sekere kulturele opvattings universeel gedeel word.
Die volgende psalms word in die ondersoek ontleed: 3, 21,46,68, 76, 83, 140, 144. Die seleksie
is gedoen op grond van die belangrikste literêre genres in die psalms. As agtergrond tot die
ondersoek, word 'n kort oorsig gebied van krygerterminologie en opvattings in die res van die Ou
Nabye Ooste. Daarna is die krygerbeeld in die geselekteerde psalms ondersoek.
Die ondersoek het soos volg verloop: in Hoofstuk 1 is daar aandag gegee aan die
navorsingsgeskiedenis met betrekking tot die voorstelling van Jahwe as kryger in die Hebreeuse
Bybel, in Hoofstuk 2 is die literêre verskynsel van die metafoor behandel en in Hoofstuk 3 is daar
gefokus op die Ou Nabye Oosterse instelling van oorlog en die plek van krygers in die verband.
Vanaf Hoofstuk 4-11 is die krygermetafore in die geselekteerde psalms geanaliseer. By elk van die
geanaliseerde psalms word die volgende metode gevolg: (1) 'n vertaling en tekskritiese
aantekeninge; (2) 'n bespreking van die literêre genre; (3) 'n analise van die styl-elemente; en (4)
'n analise van die krygermetafore.
In die psalms waar Jahwe as kryger voorgestel word, tree daar altyd drie hoofkarakters na vore,
naamlik die digter, die vyand en Jahwe. Die vyand word geteken in terme van tipiese
"vyandsbeelde", terwyl Jahwe defensief teenoor die bidder optree en offensief teenoor die
teëstanders. In hierdie studie word ook aangedui dat wanneer Jahwe ingryp, bewerk Hy redding en
herstel Hy ook die digter se eer. Jahwe word geloof vir sy reddingsdade in die verlede. Dit vorm die
basis vir die digter se hulpgeroep tot Jahwe om in te gryp in sy situasie. Hy verslaan die vyand
deur van verskillende wapens gebruik te maak. Die digter se vyande word ook as Jahwe se vyand
gesien.

Summaries in German and English<br>Die vorliegende Studie setzt sich mit der militärischen Metaphorik im Corpus Paulinum im Blick
auf deren Vorkommen und Bedeutung auseinander. Es zeigt sich, dass sich die militärische Rede
und deren Anwendungsbereich im Corpus Paulinum über alle dreizehn Briefe hinweg, die der
Reihe nach ihrer wahrscheinlichen chronologischen Abfassungsfolge entsprechend analysiert
werden, zu entwickeln scheint: dienen militärische Motive anfangs noch vorwiegend als
Vergleichsmomente, so werden sie im weiteren Verlauf der Briefchronologie zunehmend
identifizierend eingesetzt. Thematisch verwendet Paulus militärische Redeweise insbesondere zur
Schaffung und Wahrung von Einheit in der Gemeinde auf Grund gemeinsamer Identität sowie um
sich und die Gemeinde als »Mithineingenommene« in den transzendenten, eschatologischen
Kampf gegen Satan zu verstehen und praktisch zu verorten bzw. anzuleiten. Das Evangelium
selbst ist umkämpft, was daher auch die Missionstätigkeit des Paulus bzw. der Gemeinde als eine
geistlich-militärische Mission verstehen lässt. Als »echte Metaphern« können die militärischen
Metaphern bei Paulus weder verlustfrei ersetzt noch aufgelöst werden.<br>The study deals with military metaphors in the Corpus Paulinum with regard to their occurrence
and significance. It turns out that the military speech and its scope of application in the Corpus
Paulinum seems to evolve across all thirteen letters, which are analyzed in sequence according to
their probable chronological order: if military motifs serve as comparative moments at first, they
are increasingly used identically in the further course of the letter chronology. The use of military
speeches in particular serves the purpose of creating and maintaining unity in the community on
the basis of a common identity, and in order to understand and guide the community in a
transcendent, eschatological struggle against Satan. The Gospel itself is contested, which also
explains the missionary activity of Paul as a spiritual-military mission. As »real metaphors«,
Paul's military metaphors can neither be replaced or dissolved without loss.<br>New Testament<br>M. Th. (New Testament)

Full textAbstract:
Military metaphors have been ubiquitous in medicine for centuries. This indicates that tropes of battle may be helpful to some persons in coping with illness. This chapter examines pathographies, that is, stories of illness written by patients, and the words that describe their experiences. A powerful example of a war correspondent and historian of battles of WWII illustrates how military language offers a sense of control and self-reliance for a person who values action and engagement. Thus, for some, figures of war and victory are especially resonant and may counter the loss of dignity and fear that accompany illness. However, this demands bravado, stoicism, and even denial. Further, the words may shift to heroism in the face of defeat as the illness worsens. This chapter notes the particular responsibilities of the physician caring for the “warrior” patient and the imperative for an adaptable and nuanced stance as the illness evolves.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 5 traces the historical origins of military metaphors and seeks to understand their cultural roots. Some scholars point to Pasteur’s germ theory and the development of immunology in the late nineteenth century as the beginnings of the linguistic wars against bacteria and disease. Yet, physicians of an earlier era prior to any knowledge of bacteria postulated a human body engaged in life-and-death battles, and the earliest depiction of fever as evidence of a war within the body appears in the work of an Italian friar in 1635. The chapter postulates an earlier cultural origin for these metaphoric battles in ancient theological sources in which disease is understood as retribution for sins and an evil that must be fought with contrition and prayer. The Psychomachia, an allegorical work of the fifth century, relates the mythic battles between good and evil that are later readily evident in Puritan writings of England and early America.

The predominant metaphor in the discourse of medicine is that of war and the military. American presidents of the past century have defined important social policies in terms of battles to be fought and foes to be vanquished, physicians and patients “wage war on cancer,” and cookbooks offer recipes to fight disease. These military tropes are not innocent depictions of medical care—they shape our understanding of illness, disease, and health. Patients become battlegrounds on which doctors fight disease, yet may shoulder the responsibility for “losing.” Obituaries are replete with tributes to heroic patients and valiant battles. This chapter describes different models of medical wars with varying combinations of protagonists and enemies and the effects of such metaphors on how we perceive epidemics and practice public health. It describes the social pressures that force patients to “fight to the end” and the frequent loneliness experienced by those with serious illness.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter analyzes the music of two military bands: Zangalewa of Cameroon and Zao of Congo-Brazzaville. Zangalewa is the marching band of the presidential guard in Cameroon. Part of its “Suffering Soldier's Medley,” a self-deprecating military entertainment piece, was actually a subtle politico-cultural parody, couched in jester's garb, that lampoons the brutal and oppressive Cameroon army. For its part, Zao is a “pseudo military” band, a civilian band that adopted a military persona and uses subtle satire couched in humor to critique the military and militarism. The author analyzes the politico-cultural contexts and lyrics of both bands within the framework of metaphorical couching, the embedment of messages in humor. Both bands couched criticism of the authorities in humor and African metaphors, sayings, and proverbs expressed in a mixture of English, French, pidgin, and African dialects to bypass censorious gatekeepers.

Britain assembled the foundations of its empire of camps over the course of the nineteenth century. The institutions of mass industrial society—workhouses, prisons, and factories—affirmed concentration and confinement as normative methods to discipline the vagrant and criminal poor. The military institutionalized army camps and POW camps as disciplinary technologies and disseminated them across the empire. Criminal tribe settlements in India experimented with measures of spatial and social control later used in the context of wartime counterinsurgency. Their proponents imagined such settlements to be measures of social quarantine that would protect society from the dangerous classes while curing and reforming those detained. Medical and military metaphors provided a powerful language that would frame the development of future camps across Britain’s late-Victorian empire.
