CONCEPTUAL MAPPING MODEL ACROSS LANGUAGES: A TEST IN VIETNAMESE LANGUAGE
The conceptual metaphor, LOVE IS A JOURNEY, has been identified as a process of mapping based on the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) proposed by Lakoff and Johnson (1980). However, Ahrens (2002) pointed out several problems that the CMT may encounter, especially in setting parameters to be experime...

Each conceptual metaphor consists of six types of sentences, including (a) Literal pair to B, (b) Conventional metaphor, (c) Literal pair to D, (d) Novel metaphor that follows the mapping principle, (e) Literal pair to F, and (f) Novel metaphor that does not follow the mapping principle. The results of t-tests show that in terms of both acceptability and interpretability, conventional metaphors are ranked higher than novel metaphors. The results also indicate that novel metaphors that follow the mapping principle are rated higher than those that do not. Therefore, the mapping principle can constrain the image schemas so that any image that does not belong to the schemas can affect the processing of metaphors. 2023-03-04T14:14:18Z 2023-03-04T14:14:18Z 2023 Article 0866-787X https://tckh.dlu.edu.vn/index.php/tckhdhdl/article/view/871 https://scholar.dlu.edu.vn/thuvienso/handle/DLU123456789/114479 10.37569/DalatUniversity.13.3.871(2023) en Tạp chí Khoa học Đại học Đà Lạt, Tập 13, Số 3; tr. 3-16 application/pdf Trường Đại học Đà Lạt |
