SOURCE DOMAIN OF HUMAN OF CONCEPTUAL METAPHORS IN VIETNAMESE AND AMERICAN ENGLISH POLITICAL DISCOURSE
Main Article Content
Abstract
Based on literature review of English discourse analysis, the article aims to further elaborate the research direction of conceptual metaphors in Vietnamese and American English political discourse by generalizing the implementation of a conceptual system based on the source domain of HUMAN. At the same time, it compares the concerned conceptual metaphor expressions in the political discourse of these two languages. The results show that many models share the same source and target domains, but the expression of conceptual metaphors is very different. There are also many cases that, despite having the same political target domain, the construction of metaphors according to the levels in the two discourse systems is different. And all in all, the more general the conceptual metaphors are, the more similar they are in the two languages. However, the difference often occurs in the linguistic metaphor system.
