Thanks to cognitive metaphors, we know the way people view and function the world through abstract concepts they live by. ―Self-identity‖ is an elusive concept, and commonly viewed and expressed in terms of cognitive metaphors.

This study is in the fields of Cognitive Linguistics and Translation studies which carry out a mixed research design combining both qualitative and quantitative. The data was mainly taken from 120 of TCS‘s songs and their English translational versions by different translators, among which 60 are in the original and 60 are in the translational versions. Cognitive metaphors of the notion of ―Self-identity‖ in TCS‘s songs were explored based on the theoretical background of cognitive semantics.
