Who is the pike in the Czech political pond? Or the Conceptual Metaphor POLITICS IS A POND in Czech Political Discourse

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In this article, the author analyzes the conceptual metaphors POLITICS IS A POND, POLITICIAN IS A CARP and POLITICIAN IS A PIKE in the Czech political discourse. The investigation is based on the theory of the conceptual metaphor and is conducted upon the principles of ethnolinguistics and cognitive linguistics. The author consistently shows the specific features of these conceptual metaphors to the Czech linguistic worldview and proposes metaphorical mapping to convey salient features of the target domain (politics and politicians). The conceptual metaphor POLITICS IS A POND helps a speaker to depict a problematic domestic political situation that needs to be changed. The metaphors POLITICIAN IS A CARP and POLITICIAN IS A PIKE are usually used in the comparison to create the &quot;friend-foe&quot; opposition in the political discourse. The conceptual metaphor POLITICIAN IS A CARP discloses the passivity and laziness of politicians and their inability and unwillingness to change the current situation. On the other hand, the conceptual metaphor POLITICIAN IS A PIKE can be used to indicate both the positive qualities of a politician (activity, energy, initiative) and the negative ones (greed, selfishness, cruelty). The use of culturally specific conceptual metaphors allows a politician to establish close contact with the audience to increase the number of loyal voters.
