| Achoimre: | Metaphor is involed in human cognitive process. It allows us to
comprehend a relatively abstract concept by virtue of a more concrete
concept, which is thus called conceptual metaphor.
Everyday emotions like happiness, sadness, anger, fear, and love
turn to be metaphorical. Based on the theories of metaphor, this study
makes an investigation into conceptual metaphors used for describing
happiness and sadness in English and Vietnamese poems. This thesis is
carried out to find out the similarities and differences in expressions of
conceptual metaphors used for describing happiness and sadness in English
and Vietnamese poems. More than 650 metaphorical expressions
describing happiness and sadness are collected from English and
Vietnamese poems on the Internet, in newspapers and in publication
printings.
Basing on the findings and results of thesis, some implications for
teaching, learning and translating of conceptual metaphors will be
suggested. This also helps Vietnamese learners of English achieve better
competence in a cross - cultural communication. |
