Research Abstract |
This study is an attempt to clarify the systematic nature of the mappings which construct metaphors of emotions. Through analyses of a number of citations of conventional metaphors retrieved from large electronic corpora, I have proposed an alternative to the long-accepted idea on the prototype of emotion formed by the introspective method adopted to traditional cognitive linguistic studies. This study has also revealed unexpected relationships of antonymy and synonymy among the emotions. The search results imply that proper use of corpus data can bring important insights and that corpus methodology will make a valuable contribution to cognitive linguistic theories of metaphor.
