Abstract

Ovaj rad primarno se bavi konceptualnim metaforama za VRIJEME u švedskom jeziku, no u radu se također stavlja naglasak i na utjecaj kulture i kulturoloških razlika na ne samo konceptualne metafore za VRIJEME, već i na metafore općenito. Zbog same apstraktne prirode vremena, ono je koncept koji je u potpunosti metaforički strukturiran u našem umu. Dakle, koristimo svoja iskustva s vremenom kako bismo „stvorili njegovu sliku“ u našem umu. Metafore za VRIJEME kojima se ovaj rad bavi poglavito su primarne metafore (eng. primary metaphors). Konceptualne metafore koje pripadaju ovoj vrsti metafora, ne običavaju se uvelike razlikovati od jedne kulture do druge. Nadalje, pronalazimo i kompleksne metafore (eng. complex metaphors) poput VRIJEME JE NOVAC u mnogim različitim kulturama i jezicima. Međutim, i dalje postoje međukulturalne razlike u metaforama za VRIJEME, u najmanju ruku u metaforičkim jezičnim izrazima u kojima se one odražavaju. Rad daje pregled najučestalijih metafora za VRIJEME u švedskom te ukazuje i na načine na koje su neke od tih metafora povezane.

Abstract (english)

This paper primarily explores TIME metaphors in Swedish, and puts emphasis on the influence that culture and cultural differences have not only on TIME metaphors in particular but also on conceptual metaphors in general. Due to the abstract nature of the notion of time, our conceptualization of it is purely metaphorical and we use our experience of time to “build an image” of what it is like. The metaphors of TIME discussed in this paper are largely primary metaphors. This type of metaphor tends to not vary significantly from one culture to another. Furthermore, even complex metaphors such as TIME IS MONEY are common in many different cultures and languages. Nonetheless, there still exist cross-cultural differences in TIME metaphors, at the very least in the metaphorical linguistic expressions in which these metaphors are reflected. The paper gives an overview of the most common TIME metaphors in Swedish, as well as illustrates how some of these metaphors are linked together.
