The Reflection of National Identity in Figurative Language

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This article examines how figurative language – including metaphors, idioms, and symbols – embodies and reflects national and cultural identity. Drawing on theories of conceptual metaphor and cultural linguistics, the study reviews how national ideals, historical narratives, and collective values are encoded in language. For example, metaphors such as the nation-as-body or nation-as-family illustrate how speakers conceptualize their country (Musolff, 2020)
