Annotatsiya

According to Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT), humans can comprehend abstract domains like politics by employing concrete source domains like war, family, and travel. Metaphors in political journalism have deep linguacultural significance; they frame issues through cultural imagery, intertextual echoes (historical events or narratives), and collocations (e.g., war, frontline). For instance, The Guardian used an animal-hunting image that connects with aggressive media discourse to characterise a progressive surge as "the left smells blood" following an electoral victory. Similarly, terms like "fight back" and "would-be-king" are used in Guardian stories on US primaries to portray politics as a power struggle. These figurative decisions are rarely neutral; they frequently reflect ideological stances and suggest urgency, solidarity, or conflict. This article provides a methodical analysis of such analogies. We compile a balanced corpus of political articles from English-language periodicals (The Guardian, New York Times, The Economist, etc.) over a broad time span.
