| Summary: | This thesis focuses on investigating the conceptual metaphors
expressing two abstract concepts love and happiness in English and
Vietnamese on the background knowledge of cognitive semantics raised by
Kӧvecses.Z in his book Metaphor: A Practical Introduction (2010). Among
three types of conceptual metaphors, the research paper just concentrates on
the structural metaphors expressing romantic love and happiness such as
LOVE IS JOURNEY, LOVE IS A NUTRIENT, LOVE IS A UNITY, LOVE
IS FIRE, LOVE IS MOTION, LOVE IS A PLANT,… and HAPPINESS IS
UP, HAPPINESS IS LIGHT, HAPPINESS IS VITALITY, HAPPINESS IS A
FLUID, HAPPINESS IS A NATURAL FORCE, HAPPINESS IS AN
OBJECT, … in English and Vietnamese based on the descriptive approach.
Then, the similarities and differences between the conceptual metaphors
expressing these two abstracts in English and Vietnamese are also analyzed
and displayed through the comparative analysis of about 670 samples
collected from novels and short stories. This investigation can contribute
some implications for English teaching and learning as well as translation
work in Vietnam. |
