Název v původním jazyce

Use of Parallel Texts as an Approach to Metaphor Variation Across Languages and Cultures

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

We propose a theme session that addresses the usefulness of parallel texts in studying metaphor variation across languages and cultures. This session is expected to help define cultural linguistics as a multi-disciplinary field by attracting scholars in contrastive linguistics, cognitive linguistics, linguistic typology, corpus linguistics, stylistics, translation, and literary studies. In addition, by proposing the session, we hope to introduce a new but useful research methodology to cultural linguistics. The role of cultural context has been extensively recognized in metaphor studies. Different languages and cultures provide their users with different socio-cultural environments, with which the speakers understand, conceptualize and interact with the world around them. Accordingly, the metaphor (or the source concept) that different languages and cultures may utilize in talking about the same event is bound to vary.
