Abstract
Despite metaphors being omnipresent in our everyday lives, their usage frequently goes unnoticed. This paper analyzes conceptual metaphors, a particular type of metaphor proposed by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson (1980), which entail understanding an abstract domain of experience in terms of a concrete domain of experience. What makes the creation of such metaphors possible is the existence of multiple correspondences between the two domains. These correspondences are also referred to as... More “mappings,” due to certain elements being mapped from the “source domain,” onto the “target domain”. Conceptual metaphors were retrieved from the novel Pet Sematary by Stephen King, grouped into structural, orientational, and ontological metaphors, and then compared to their Spanish and Croatian translations in order to see how each of the three cultures perceives and maps certain concepts. Following the main part of the paper, a discussion summarizing the similarities and differences in conceptualization and translation of the metaphors was included. It was found that orientational metaphors tend to be expressed differently in one or both translations, which frequently do not express the spatial connotation found in the original text. In the category of structural metaphors, various solutions were observed. Most similarities in conceptualization were found in metaphors where the target domains were time and marriage. Analyzing ontological metaphors, the container metaphors, metaphors with the source domain of weapons and the target domain of ideas were mostly present in both translations. Less
Abstract (croatian)
Unatoč tome što su metafore sveprisutne u našem svakodnevnom životu, njihova uporaba često prolazi nezapaženo. U ovom su radu analizirane konceptualne metafore, posebna vrsta metafora koje su predložili George Lakoff i Mark Johnson, a koje podrazumijevaju razumijevanje apstraktne domene iskustva putem konkretne domene iskustva. Ono što stvaranje takvih metafora čini mogućim jest postojanje višestrukih korespondencija između dviju domena. Ove se korespondencije također nazivaju... More "preslikavanja", jer se određeni elementi preslikavaju iz izvorne domene u ciljnu domenu. Konceptualne metafore preuzete su iz romana Pet Sematary Stephena Kinga, grupirane u strukturalne, orijentacijske i ontološke metafore, a zatim uspoređene sa španjolskim i hrvatskim prijevodima, kako bi se vidjelo kako svaka od tri kulture percipira i preslikava određene pojmove. Nakon glavnog dijela rada, uslijedila je rasprava u kojoj su sažete sličnosti i razlike u konceptualizaciji i prijevodu metafora. Utvrđeno je da se orijentacijske metafore često različito izražavaju u jednom ili oba prijevoda, koji često ne izražavaju prostornu konotaciju prisutnu u izvornom tekstu. U kategoriji strukturalnih metafora uočena su različita rješenja. Najviše sličnosti u konceptualizaciji pronađeno je u metaforama gdje su ciljne domene vrijeme i brak. Analizirajući ontološke metafore, metafore kontejnera, metafore s izvornom domenom oružja i ciljnom domenom ideja bile su uglavnom prisutne u oba prijevoda. Less
