Abstract
Figurative language was traditionally regarded as a unique trait of humans that was tied solely to poetry. However, due to the increase in research, its prevalence in everyday life was recognised and it became included in the analyses of other forms of spoken and written language. This master’s thesis examines the use of metaphor and metonymy in Marvel Cinematic Universe films. The corpus included six MCU films that are part of the first phase of the franchise (Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger, and The Avengers). A total of 428 metaphors and 112 metonymies were found and they were all distributed into specific categories. When it comes to metaphors, the most numerous were the examples for the target domain LIFE, and in the case of metonymies the examples in which INSTITUTION stands for PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE. Apart from this, the greatest number of metaphors was found in Iron Man, of metonymies in The Avengers, and the lowest number of both was found in The Incredible Hulk.
Abstract (croatian)
Figurativni jezik tradicionalno se smatrao jedinstvenom ljudskom osobinom koja je bila vezana isključivo za poeziju. No zbog porasta istraživanja, prepoznata je njegova raširenost u svakodnevnom životu te je uključen u istraživanja drugih oblika govornog i pisanog jezika. Ovaj diplomski rad analizira upotrebu metafore i metonimije u Marvel Cinematic Universe filmovima. Korpus uključuje šest MCU filmova koji su dio prve faze franšize (Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger i The Avengers). Sveukupno je pronađeno 428 metafora i 112 metonimija, a koje su raspoređene u određenu kategoriju. Kada se radi o metafori, najbrojniji su bili primjeri ciljne domene ŽIVOT, a u slučaju metonimije primjeri u kojima INSTITUCIJA zamjenjuje LJUDE ODGOVORNE (ZA INSTITUCIJU). Najviše metafora bilo je u filmu Iron Man, metonimija u The Avengers, a najmanji broj jedne i druge u The Incredible Hulk.
