Metaphorical conceptualization in sports discourse of football in Iran through corpus approaches to critical metaphor analysis
By examining the conceptual metaphors used in sports texts, one can understand the kind of view that subconsciously exists behind the minds of writers. To find such viewpoints, the metaphors used in the two newspapers, Khabar-e-Varzeshi and Abrar-e-Varzeshi in 2019 were examined to obtain conceptualization methods hidden behind the produced texts. To that end, the researcher used the critical analysis of metaphor suggested by Charteris-Black (2004) as the research method that is the result of a combination of cognitive approaches, critical discourse analysis, pragmatics and corpus, as well as the conceptual metaphors approach introduced by Lakoff and Johnson (1980) as a theoretical framework for data analysis. The main issue of this research is to address the issue of which areas of Source domain are used in the conceptualization of sports news in football? Why? To answer the question of the article, the articles related to the year 2019 and not all of them were collected then were saved in a Word file as a corpus and three steps of Charteris - Black were done. In this regard, we studied 400 news for the first and second six months of the 2019 that were included 94.955 words to recognize metaphors. Since one of the features of sport language is war metaphors and also spreading these metaphors in sport discourse but completely unlikely the studies were showed that football metaphors are less violent and even aesthetically is field of pleasing from human activities and nonviolent domains that can be structured by authors.
