dc.description.abstractThe current thesis focuses on the comparative analysis of the metaphoric conceptualizations of selected emotions e.g., happiness, sadness, fear and anger. The metaphoric conceptualization of emotions is being compared in the selected expressions of English and Urdu languages with an emphasis on the image schemas that serve as the foundation for the concepts that are transferred from source to target domains. The current study additionally explores the sense relations e.g., polysemy, metonymy and meronymy etc., between the source domain words and target domain words. The analysis is based on the fundamental aspects proposed in "Conceptual Metaphor Theory," "Comparison Theory," and "Image Schema Theory" because these theories very effectively explain the complexities of conceptualizing ideas, various facets of sources, targets and the mapping of concepts between them. The collected data consists of 44 English expressions and 44 Urdu expressions, which are selected via simple random sampling. Each expression is categorized under a specific category of metaphoric conceptualization of emotions that have been explored in the current study. All in all, this study might deepen the readers understanding regarding the way speakers metaphorically project abstract concepts to make sense of their experiences that involve emotions including anger, happiness, sadness and fear.
