Abstract
On one hand, conceptual metaphors represent a significant aspect of the human conceptual system in the sense that they help us understand abstract concepts. On the other hand, animated films have had a certain significance in people’s lives as well and they represent a productive framework for recognizing the way in which we relate source domains to target domains. The purpose of this thesis was to examine, through the analysis of selected animated films, whether conceptual metaphors could be found in animation, and if so, in what way. Ten films that were chosen for the analysis primarily dealt with themes related to family, friendship, love, and emotions. A total of 27 conceptual metaphors were found within the corpus. Four target domains were isolated: ‘time’, ‘love’, ‘emotion’, and ‘life’. A total of 230 metaphorical expressions were gathered and presented. The results show that the most frequently occurring metaphorical expressions were those related to target domains ‘time’ and ‘love’.
Abstract (croatian)
S jedne strane, konceptualne metafore predstavljaju značajan aspekt ljudskog konceptualnog sustava u smislu da nam pomažu razumjeti apstraktne pojmove. S druge strane, animirani su filmovi također imali određeni značaj u životu ljudi te predstavljaju produktivan okvir za prepoznavanje načina na koji izvorne domene povezujemo s ciljnim domenama. Svrha ovog rada bila je istražiti, kroz analizu odabranih animiranih filmova, mogu li se i na koji način, konceptualne metafore pronaći u animaciji. Deset filmova koji su odabrani za analizu obrađuju teme prvenstveno vezane za obitelj, prijateljstvo, ljubav i emocije. Unutar korpusa pronađeno je ukupno 27 konceptualnih metafora. Četiri ciljne domene bile su izdvojene: ‘vrijeme’, ‘ljubav’, ‘emocija’, i ‘život’. Ukupno je prikupljeno i predstavljeno 230 metaforičkih izraza. Rezultati pokazuju da su se najčešće pojavljivali oni izrazi koji se odnose na ciljne domene ‘vrijeme’ i ‘ljubav’.
