Abstract
Metaphors are nowadays perceived not only as literary devices, but are also increasingly analysed as parts of people's conceptual systems. They occur in everyday speech, texts and the media. The aim of this paper is to examine the occurrence of basic conceptual metaphors in A. Huxley's Brave New World and G. Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm, according to Lakoff and Johnson's Metaphors We Live By (1980). The total amount of basic conceptual metaphors collected is 35, according to which 327 examples from the analysed books are taken. The most frequent metaphors found are the ones related to people, their features and emotions. The analysis has shown that the frequency of certain basic conceptual metaphors depends on the context, aside from the frequent occurrence of metaphors unrelated to a certain theme or genre. More precisely, the frequency depends on the motives, themes and genre of the analysed novels and the novella.
Abstract (croatian)
Metafore se u današnje vrijeme ne smatraju isključivo stilskim izražajnim sredstvima, već se sve više počinju analizirati kao dio ljudskog konceptualnog sustava. Prisutne su u svakodnevnom govoru, raznim tekstovima i medijima. Cilj ovog rada jest istraživanje pojavnosti temeljne konceptualne metafore u dva romana i noveli u skladu s Metaphors We Live By Lakoffa i Johnsona (1980.). Sveukupan broj temeljnih konceptualnih metafora koje su preuzete iz navedenog izvora jest 35, dok je prema njima navedeno 327 primjera iz analiziranih knjiga. Metafore koje se načešće pojavljuju su one koje se odnose na ljude, njihove osobine i osjećaje. Provedena analiza pokazala je da učestalost određenih temeljnih konceptualnih metafora ovisi o kontekstu, uz čestu pojavu metafora koje nisu povezane s određenim temama ili žanrovima. Točnije, može se reći da učestalost metafora ovisi o motivima, tematici i žanru romana i novele koji su analizirani.
