Abstract

U ovom završnom radu istražuju se sličnosti i razlike između konceptualnih metafora u ova dva germanska jezika. Konceptualne metafore, ključne za kognitivnu lingvistiku, analiziraju se kako bi se razumjelo na koji način oblikuju mišljenje i komunikaciju u švedskoj i engleskoj kulturi. Rad istražuje uobičajene konceptualne metafore za ljubav u oba jezika te uspoređuje univerzalne i kulturološki specifične metafore. Cilj je identificirati kako metafore odražavaju kulturne vrijednosti i norme te kako utječu na percepciju i izražavanje ljubavi.

Abstract (english)

This thesis explores the similarities and differences between conceptual metaphors in these two Germanic languages. Conceptual metaphors, crucial to cognitive linguistics, are analyzed to understand how they shape thinking and communication in Swedish and English cultures. The thesis investigates common domains and metaphors related to love in both languages, comparing universal and culturally specific metaphors. The aim is to identify how metaphors reflect cultural values and norms and how they influence the perception and expression of love.
