Economic crisis as a supernatural being in public discourse
Get PDFThe aim of the research was to reveal and compare the peculiarities of economic crisis conceptualization in Lithuanian and German public discourse. The research was focused on conceptual metaphors that are characteristic for the source domain SUPERNATURAL BEING. The main research method is the analysis of conceptual metaphors based on the Contemporary Theory of Metaphor. The metaphor is understood not as a linguistic phenomenon, but as a thinking strategy, mapping from a source domain to a target domain. In this context, the significance of research into conceptual metaphors in linguistics is obvious, because metaphors are a linguistic reflection of thinking processes. Thus, by revealing the mode of conceptual metaphors as well as the ways they are realized, we partially reveal the thinking and behavioral strategies that are characteristic for a given nation. Both linguistic communities explain the crisis by the names of supernatural beings. Metaphorical expressions present the crisis as a phenomenon beyond human control and an inevitable necessity caused by supernatural beings. These features are reflected by universal conceptual metaphors in both languages, but their linguistic expression in German and Lithuanian is partly unique. Collected metaphorical expressions and research results were applied compiling the first of its kind Conceptual Metaphors Dictionary of Lithuanian Public Discourse

A metaphorical analysis of Kabhanti Modero to show Munanese social relations
Get PDFSo far, a comprehensive metaphorical study seems to be more unfamiliar in vernacular expressions. Such a study is usually restricted to determining the sense type, moral values, or other similar general aspects. Studies in a more specific aspect seem to be more difficult to find. This is of paramount importance because it does not only foster the national culture, but also preserve the traditional culture representing the true identity of a nation. This study is not only aimed at identifying the types of metaphors in kabhanti modero but also attempts to elaborate upon the relations between Munanese society and the metaphorical expressions in it. The research sites are located in Lohia and Kondongia villages, Muna Regency. The primary data are obtained from the informants with thorough knowledge and cultural experience on kabhanti modero, especially those who serve as the local informal leaders. On the other hand, the secondary data are obtained through the written data in the form of archives, books, journals and data from the Department of Tourism, Muna Regency. The data are collected by using listening and speaking techniques in the form of conversation and interaction between the researchers and informants as resource persons. The results of this study indicate that there are four types of metaphors in modero kabhanti, i.e. anthropomorphic metaphors, plant metaphors, metaphors from concrete to abstract entities, and kinaesthetic metaphors. The linkage between metaphorical expressions in kabhanti modero with the social relations of Munanese society reflects the metaphorical expressions representing the local character of the Munanese. This is closely related to how they perceive the spiritual relationship between man and God through the "dhosa" diction and the social relationships between man and others through the "dapotonda-tonda" clause, the "mina bhe nsigaahano" clause, as well as the lyrics revealing the relationship between men and women
