Abstract

 

The article describes and comments on some common source domains in American political discourse in order to clarify the role of source domains in controlling the way of categorization and conceptualization through conceptual metaphors. Survey results of 257 metaphors in 57 American political discourses show that the source domain of animals and plants has the most metaphorical expressions, followed by the source domains of machines, sports, weather and health respectively.
