“SEMANTIC FEATURES OF CONCEPTUAL METAPHOR”
Abstract
Within the framework of cognitive linguistics, metaphor is no longer regarded merely as a stylistic or rhetorical device, but as a fundamental mechanism of human thought. The theory of conceptual metaphor, developed by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, demonstrates that human cognition is largely metaphorical in nature. According to this theory, people understand abstract concepts through more concrete and experiential domains[1].
