Title

Metaphorical Conceptualization of Bravery in Contemporary Persian and English Prose

Pages

  691-716

Abstract

 This paper attempts to investigate the conceptualization of conceptual Metaphors of Bravery in the contemporary Persian and English Prose. The main question of this study is: "How the concept of Bravery which is one of the target domain of Morality from Kovecses's point of view (2010: 23) is constructed and understood in the minds of Persian and English speakers. To achieve this goal, the authors prepared a corpus of 400 Persian sentences containing the word of      and its synonyms and also 400 English sentences containing the word of Bravery and its synonyms from the two Bases of Persian Language database (PLDB)1 and contemporary British national (BNC)2 prose, and examined them through cognitive analysis of the extracted conceptual Metaphors. A statistical study of the two figures showed that as a prototype, Persian speakers consider Bravery as an "object" and English speakers as a "property". There are also many common Source domains shared by the two bodies: "property", "object", "physical force", "upward direction", "action", "matter" and "human behavior". Although the Persian and English languages have many common conceptual Metaphors for conceptualization of Bravery, there are some differences between them including the different Source domains between the two languages which are as follows: the Source domain of "path" which is belonged to Persian and the Source domain of "show" which is belonged to English. The theoretical Framework of the present research is based on the conceptual Metaphor theory proposed by Lakoff and Johnson (1980) and Kovecses's (2015).
