20.500.12556/RUP-3743 Slovenian and US elections in metaphors The present paper examines metaphors in the discourse of elections from a cross-linguistic perspective. The methodological framework brings together the conceptual theorY of metaphor, as one of the most prominent models within cognitive linguistics, and Critical Discourse AnalYsis. In addition, a cross-linguistic approach to analYsing metaphors in discourse is suggested following Kövecsesʼ (2005) criteria for cultural and linguistic universalitY and variation in metaphor. The analYsis is based on a corpus of newspaper articles related to the elections held in 2008 in Slovenia and those held in the USA in the same Year. The results suggest that while there is a certain degree of universalitY in terms of the predominant conceptual metaphors, there are also important variations between the two languages and cultures in question, such as the ubiquitY of metaphoricallY motivated terminologY and election jargon identified in (American) English texts. metafore kritična analiza volitve diskurz conceptual metaphors discourse critical discourse analysis elections true true false Angleški jezik Neznan jezik Delo ni kategorizirano 2013-10-15 12:09:07 2013-10-15 12:09:07 2024-03-01 12:11:42 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2012 0 0 str. 120-136 is. 2 Vol. 5 2012 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 1752-3079 81'373.6 4294615 http://cadaad.net/files/journal/CADAAD%202012_Bratoz.pdf 1 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=3743 Pedagoška fakulteta 0 0 0
