| Abstract [eng] |
Regardless the universality of metaphor as a cognitive phenomenon, particular conceptual metaphors and t heir realisation features differ across languages, posing problems in teaching/learning of langua - ges and translation. Even metaphors based on bodily experience (the body, its structure, senses, etc.), which is typically assumed to be universal, reveal language specific patterns of metaphorisation. This study aims at identifying and contrasting temperature metaphors in Lithuanian and English. Their source domains are temperature concepts of heat, warmth, coolness and cold as different qualities on a temperature scale, mapped onto target domains which are metaphorised (emotions, relationships, etc.). The contrastive analysis is accomplished at two levels – conceptual temperature metaphors and metaphorical expressions that realise them. The methodology of research centres on the method of con - ceptual metaphor analysis combined with a corpus linguistic approach – metaphorical expressions are derived from the Corpus of the Contemporary Lithuanian Language and the British National Corpus. |
