Journal Title: Львівський філологічний часопис - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue
Abstract
The article deals with the study of the emotion concept of ANGER, explicated in Loren Oliver’s dystopian novels Delirium, Pandemonium, Requiem by means of conceptual metaphors. The study distinguishes the conventional ontological and structural conceptual metaphors for the objectifying of the concept of ANGER, among which are EMOTIONS ARE SUBSTANCES (within a person), PERSON IS A CONTAINER (for emotions), EMOTIONS ARE LIQUIDS, ANGER IS HEAT, ANGER IS A LIVING BEING, ANGER IS A PERSON, ANGER IS LIQUID, EFFECT ON EMOTIONAL SELF IS CONTACT WITH PHYSICAL SELF, EMOTIONS ARE (ELECTROMAGNETIC) FORCES. The article describes the creative author’s metaphors that objectify the concept, namely ANGER IS A WORM, ANGER IS SEA, ANGER IS FIRE, ANGER IS A (SHARP) OBJECT. It has been revealed that the formation of the author’s poetic images of the emotion of anger is based mostly on conventional conceptual metaphors. In the process of the analysis, the formation of the author’s poetic images to denote anger has been traced through cognitive mechanisms of rethinking of conventional metaphors, such as elaboration, extension, combination. It has been found out that the cognitive mechanism of combining is the most frequent means of formation of the author’s poetic images, since the artistic rethinking of conventional metaphors is a complex cognitive process. The formation of creative, author's conceptual metaphors, in most cases, is achieved by the author by means of the elaboration of conventional structural or ontological metaphors to denote the emotion of anger (EMOTIONS ARE LIQUIDS → ANGER IS LIQUID, NATURAL PHENOMENON IS A PERSON → FOG IS A PERSON, EMOTIONS ARE ENTITIES (within a person) → ANGER IS A (SHARP) OBJECT, PERSON IS A CONTAINER (for emotions) → EYES ARE CONTAINERS FOR ANGER), as well as by elaboration of the source domain (EMOTIONS ARE LIQUID → ANGER IS LIQUID → ANGER IS FOG, EMOTIONS ARE LIQUIDS → ANGER IS LIQUID → ANGER IS THE SEA, EMOTIONS ARE (ELECTROMAGNETIC) FORCES → ANGER IS ELECTRICITY, ANGER IS A LIVING BEING ANGER IS AN ANAL ANGER IS A WORM).
