Conceptual metaphors in Volodymyr Zelensky’s political discourse
The article aims at identifying and analysing conceptual metaphors in Volodymyr Zelensky’s political discourse, their role and functions within the armed conflict. The consequences of this war are globally relevant because the geopolitical situation in the region, the future of the EU and its member states, especially Poland, the Baltic States and EU candidate Moldova, are highly dependent on the end of this war. The most prevalent conceptual metaphors, identified in Zelensky’s discourse are – WAR IS A JOURNEY, STATE IS A BUILDING, WAR IS A GAME and STATE IS A PERSON. Their role is to form an intended positive image of Ukraine and a negative image of Russia; to define who is a victim and who is an enemy in this war. Furthermore, the real perception of the situation, based on conceptual metaphors, might attract more support in the form of armament, stricter sanctions against Russia, and, eventually, to lead to the victory.
