What are the Different Models of Conceptualizing Metaphor and how do they Analyse It

Abstract

It is believed that metaphoric expressions are not ornamental aspects of speech instead they are assumed to be necessary parts of language. In other word metaphors are not imposed as extra linguistic elements on ordinary language rather they are a necessary part of language they distinguished as the main elements of the texts expanding and elaborating the topic of the texts. In classical theories of language, metaphor was seen as a matter of language not thought. Metaphorical expressions were assumed to be mutually exclusive with the realm of ordinary everyday language. Accordingly, this paper tries to illustrate different model of conceptualizing metaphor.

Keywords: Conceptualizing Metaphor, Linguistic Element, Metaphor
