| Abstract | ||
| The study of conceptual/cognitive metaphor has flourished during the recent years as insights into the operating inner mechanisms of thought and cognition are growing more complicated and intriguing. The Conceptual Metaphor Theory launches its argument on the ground that linguistic metaphors are surface realizations of deep-structure mappings that are cognition-oriented. This study explores the use of conceptual/cognitive metaphors which underlie and shape metaphorical expressions in poetry. Wordsworth’s My Heart Leaps Up and Philip Larkin’s Toads are investigated in search of the cognitive bases of metaphors and their mappings. | ||
