Metafore ljutnje: Komparativna analiza engleskog i korejskog

This study analyzes lexical expressions of five conceptual metaphors of anger in the English and the Korean language: ANGER IS FIRE, ANGER IS A HOT FLUID (IN A CONTAINER), ANGER IS INSANITY, ANGER IS AN OPPONENT and ANGER IS A BURDEN. These two languages share some similar expressions of conceptual metaphors of anger, but due to the two languages being unrelated, as well as to various cultural differences, there are many expressions which differ, as well. Therefore, the aim of this research was to show both the differences and the similarities of lexical expressions of conceptual metaphors of anger in English and Korean in order to gain a better understanding of how two different cultures express the emotion of anger. This was done by using comparable corpora as the basis of the research: enTenTen08 and koTenTen18. In order to ascertain the presence of the chosen expressions in either language, a number of key lexical items for each metaphor was looked up in the respective corpus. The research showed that there is indeed quite a bit of overlap in anger metaphors in English and Korean, but it highlighted certain differences as well, such as the prominence of the conceptual metaphor ANGER IS FIRE in Korean folk philosophy as opposed to its prominence in English, or that in Anglo-Saxon folk philosophy getting angry is perceived as a more active experience than in Korean, to name but a few of the findings.
