We employ the Conceptual Metaphor Theory as an analytical tool for explaining the empirical facts on the conceptualization of anger in these languages. We show that the mental concepts of the Dangme and the Dagbani people reflect in their conceptualizations of ANGER. We demonstrate that although the two languages deploy varied body organs (especially the heart and stomach), to express anger, Dagbani tends to focus more on the use of the heart, the lungs and the chest to express anger, whereas Dangme uses the heart, stomach and the body or self. The two languages share a common conceptual metaphor of anger as ‘heat’ with other schematic nodes, such as ‘fire’, ‘fluid’ and ‘container’. We finally establish that although most of the expressions of anger in these two languages fit into cross-linguistic patterns, there are also salient cultural specifics that demonstrate how their physiological and experiential realities tend to play an important role in their conception of anger. Data for this study were collected from native speakers of these languages through spontaneous conversations as well as from literary works produced in the two languages under investigation.","PeriodicalId":502510,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Language and Culture","volume":"194 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140751185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Premised on Martynyuk and Melescchenko’s (2021) conceptualization of\u0000 metaphtonymy and van Leeuwen’s\u0000 (2007) (de)-legitimation strategies, a corpus of 159 image macro meme instances from\u0000 The Daily Show with Trevor Noah’s (January 2016 to December 2019) has been examined to show how the\u0000 semio-cognitive de-legitimation of Donald Trump and his administration is materialized through creative\u0000 meme-inherent metaphtonymies. Key findings include the dominance of four meme-specific metaphtonymic patterns. In tandem, the\u0000 overlapping semio-discursive de-legitimation strategies of authorization, moral evaluation, rationalization, and\u0000 mythopoeisis are metaphtonymically encoded in the image macro memes of the show’s monologue to: (a) function\u0000 as highly medium-specific expressions that respond to challenging events based on thematic and structural templates, and (b)\u0000 provide a timely (and even reactionary) response to political debates, creating a negative view of Donald Trump to reduce his\u0000 legitimacy as the US president.","PeriodicalId":502510,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Language and Culture","volume":"38 34","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140752236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
