IDIOMI KAO METAFORIČKI JEZIČKI IZRAZI

Abstract

Within the theoretical framework of cognitive linguistics and the theory of conceptual metaphor, this work analyses a certain number of idioms based on the same metaphor, suggesting that certain processes of world conceptualization and experience are still common for most speakers of one language, or that those processes are common for most members of a certain culture, regardless of their education level, geographical stratification, economic or social status.
