Vietnam National University, Hanoi, 2011 This paper investigates typical conceptual metaphors used in inaugural addresses made by the US president. The author tries to present the classical cognitive theory of metaphor proposed by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson. Then, three inaugural addresses made by the US presidents including addresses made by William Bill Clinton (1993), George W. Bush (2001) and Barak Obama (2009) are analyzed using Lakoff’s and Johnson’s theory. The metaphors are categorized in terms of ontological metaphor, orientational metaphor and structural metaphor. The results of the study reveal that all types of conceptual metaphor including ontological metaphor, structural metaphor and orientational metaphor are used in four inaugural addresses. Ontological metaphors are used with the highest frequency. Orientational metaphors are rarely used with the smallest number. Entiy metaphor, which is a subtype of ontological metaphor, is the most frequently used. These conceptual metaphors have definite emotional effect on the audience to fullfil the purpose of delivering these inaugural speeches Electronic Resources |
