Cognitive Approach to Metaphor Translation in Literary Discourse

Year: 2014

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: In this paper, a cognitive approach to metaphor translation in literary discourse is used, with a reference to a collection of short stories by a famous Russian writer Vasily Shukshin (1929-1974) and their translations in English. The study presented is focused on the analysis of the anthropomorphous metaphor, in particular the conceptual mapping between MAN and NATURE concepts described contrastively in source and target texts. The theoretical framework relies on the cognitive approach to metaphor, most notably on Mandelblit's (1995) Cognitive Translation Hypothesis.
