Abstract

Cilj diplomskog rada bio je istražiti konceptualne metafore u političkim novinskim člancima. Teorijski dio rada obuhvaća prikaz kognitivne lingvistike i najvažnijih lingvista, s naglaskom na kognitivnoj teoriji i klasifikaciji metafora George Lakoffa i Mark Johnsona. Također su objašnjeni lingvistički pojmovi važni za teoriju metafore. Budući da su u fokusu rada metafore u politici jedno poglavlje bavi se upravo njihovim funkcijama u politici i povezanosti političkog jezika sa političkom moći. Okosnicu rada čini istraživanje vlastitog korpusa sastavljenog od 30 internetskih političkih članaka preuzetih sa stranica triju najvećih švedskih novina - Aftonbladet, Dagens Nyheter i Expressen. Svi navedeni članci objavljeni su tijekom 2019. i 2020. godine. Ukupno su analizirane 172 metafore podijeljene u 23 konceptualne. Na temelju analize rezultata istraživanja odgovoreno je na pitanja: koje se konceptualne metafore najviše koriste, koje su najčešće izvorne i ciljne domene, koji su najčešći metaforički izrazi pronađeni u korpusu i koje se riječi najčešće pojavljuju u metaforama.

Abstract (english)

The aim of thesis was to explore conceptual metaphors in political newspaper articles. The theoretical part of the paper includes an overview of cognitive linguistics and the most important linguists, with an emphasis on cognitive theory and the classification of metaphors by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson. Linguistic terms important to metaphor theory are also explained. Since the focus is on metaphors in politics, one chapter deals with their functions in politics and the connection between political language and political power. The central part of thesis is research of own corpus composed of 30 online political articles taken from the pages of the three Swedish largest newspapers - Aftonbladet, Dagens Nyheter and Expressen. All these articles were published during 2019 and 2020. A total of 172 metaphors were analyzed divided into 23 conceptual ones. Based on the analysis of the research results, the following questions were answered: which conceptual metaphors are most used, which are the most common source and target domains, which are the most common metaphorical expressions found in the corpus and which words most often appear in metaphors.
