Probleminiai konceptualiosios metaforos EMOCINĖ BŪSENA yra ASMUO atvejai

Abstract

In describing emotional statės, it is an essential leature to ascribe to all the languages concrete features of subjects and objects. By the way of language means, both the emotional impression and body reaction are reveaied, which are aroused by some definite relationship between the emotional state and person. The relationship between the two domains - concrete (source) domain and abstract (target) domain makes the essence of conceptual metaphor. The aim of the present paper is to explicate such word combinations as said with sadness, remembered with grief, described with nostalgia, met withjoy. After investigating the corpus, the conclusion is drawn that such cases of conceptualisation of emotional states may be treated as realisation of the conceptual metaphor EMOTIONAL STATE is PERSON.
