ABOUT SOME SOURCE DOMAINS IN THE INAUGURAL SPEECH OF DONALD TRUMP
Main Article Content
Abstract
Analyzing Donald Trump’s inaugural speech on 20 January 2017, the article identifies, describes, and comments on conceptual metaphors based on common source domains including HUMAN, JOURNEY, BUILDING, WAR, FAMILY, and ANIMAL and PLANT. This is to clarify the role of the source domains in controlling the way of conceptualization and categorization. The results show that the choice of source domain on any category is mainly based on experience, culture, popularity, and attention of native speakers as well as the personal style of each politician.
