The present study draws on the theories of conceptual\u0000 metaphor and metonymy by Lakoff & Johnson (1980) to analyze the conceptualizations\u0000 of the five body parts as fruits and vegetables in English, Spanish and French. For this purpose, a slang dictionary-based\u0000 database of 184 conceptualizations was compiled. Research on the head and sexualized body parts is particularly interesting as\u0000 they represent the core of intellect and sexuality respectively, which makes them prone to being conceptualized in a variety of\u0000 expressive and euphemistic ways. The results of the present study show that female body parts are primarily conceptualized as\u0000 sweet fruits, while the penis as well as the head are mostly understood of as savory vegetables. This finding suggests a case of\u0000 gender stereotyping, whereby sweet-natured women are denied intelligence as the head is stereotypically seen as a male body part\u0000 (i.e., as a savory vegetable).","PeriodicalId":51936,"journal":{"name":"Metaphor and the Social World","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2019-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46675186","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}

The\u0000 present paper considers an approach to metaphorical frames in discourse, by proposing the notion of discursive\u0000 metaphorical frames to capture the complex, systematic metaphorical representations prominent across discourse. The\u0000 perspective follows the direction of recent integrated approaches to metaphor, frames and discourse (e.g., Burgers et al., 2016; Cameron et al., 2009; Semino et al., 2016) and is proposed as particularly suited to studying public\u0000 discourses, as ideologically laden, multi-textual and multi-voiced. The approach is illustrated through an analysis of\u0000 metaphorical representations of language in Serbian and British newspapers. The analysis reveals the deeper social ideologies\u0000 underlying the newspaper discussions on language in Serbia and Great Britain, including similarities as well as notable\u0000 differences, pointing to the diverse ideological processes shaping contemporary media metadiscourses. The results are also\u0000 discussed in relation to the adopted approach, to frames of presentation, (sub)domain representations and the dynamics of metaphor\u0000 use in public discourse.","PeriodicalId":51936,"journal":{"name":"Metaphor and the Social World","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2019-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46945044","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}

How CMA benefits these learners’ idiom acquisition and in what way it can best be implemented in their\u0000 classrooms remain unknown. This study addresses these issues and sheds light on the effectiveness of CMA through a\u0000 quasi-experiment, in which metaphor is exploited as an intervention that explicitly introduces the connection between idioms and\u0000 the underlying Conceptual Metaphor theme. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected from 43 participants through\u0000 questionnaires, tests and a semi-structured interview with the instructor. Results from an immediate post-test showed that\u0000 participants under CMA scored higher than their counterparts who were undergoing a Memorizing Translation Approach, though the\u0000 difference was statistically insignificant (p = 0.08). A one-week delayed post-test found that CMA facilitated\u0000 idiom acquisition at a statistically significant level (p < .05). Findings from participants’ drawings and the\u0000 semi-structured interview showed that CMA had contributed to an engaging and active learning experience. Pedagogical implications\u0000 of this study are discussed further.","PeriodicalId":51936,"journal":{"name":"Metaphor and the Social World","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2019-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46255712","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}

We draw on the concept of ‘rhetorical confinement’ (Patterson, 2011) to show how the contrasting life trajectories of the two leaders are reflected in the contrasting themes and tone established by their metaphorical language. We argue that Obama’s rhetorical tone, including his use of metaphors, was at least in part a response to the compound constraints of race and class. In contrast, Trump’s rhetorical tone and use of metaphors reflects and reinforces his image as a political outsider, as a challenge to the constraints of ordinary political discourse. The contrast between the rhetorically confined politeness of Obama’s discourse (lampooned as ‘political correctness’ by many of his opponents) and the unconstrained crudeness of Trump’s discourse (lauded as ‘telling it like it is’) apparently legitimates the open expression of previously suppressed resentments and encourages an extreme rhetoric that is symptomatic of, and may contribute to, the growing polarization in American political discourse.","PeriodicalId":51936,"journal":{"name":"Metaphor and the Social World","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2018-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46383595","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}
