Sažetak

The thesis deals with conceptual metaphors found in Beowulf in order to explore the cultural elements reflected in Old English. The thesis aims to show which cultural values are deeply entrenched and consistent with the metaphorical system of Old English. In order to do that, metaphors were identified using the Metaphorical Identification Procedure in the first 100 lines of Beowulf. The results show that metaphorical items linked with culture may be divided into four thematic categories: God, Death, Ships and the Sea and Other. The category other includes metaphorical items referring to states and movements, not necessarily tied to culture or not specific to Old English. The categories of God and Death are not surprising as most cultures have some form of religion and death is merely an inevitable aspect of the human condition. The category of Ships and the Sea is the most specific to Old English. Most of the conceptual metaphors found function similarly in Modern English with just a couple of examples that are no longer used.
