| Summary: | Metaphor in the local language plays in daily life besides their role in rhetoric and poetry. This
work shall focus on the positives and negatives of using the metaphor of animals in Al
Ghaddafi’s used animal metaphors in his speeches, under the Cognitive Linguistics and the
Critical Metaphor Analysis (CMA). Studies conducted on Classical Arabic metaphors but the
focus in this study shall be the concealed meaning. Study objectives are: (1) to unravel the
meanings underlying the animal metaphors; (2) to compare similarities, differences, positives
and/ or negatives of meanings inspire the animal metaphors in Al Ghaddafi’s discourse. The
study adopts qualitative data analysis that uses two comparable corpora as the source of
data. The data collection method utilized CMA in order to identify the metaphorical meanings
in the semantic meanings. The study also adopted analytical frameworks to analyze the data,
namely and, CMA is the theoretical framework (Charters-Black, 2004) that identify and
analyze symbols as cognitive instruments. The findings display that the interrelation between these words with the internal states of understanding is not an arbitrary process, but is
grounded by a human bodily basis which supports the hypothesis made by (IbarretxeAntuñano, 2002). |
