“…If the lexical unit has a more basic meaning than the ones used in the context, then the linguistic expression selected is considered as metaphorical. Besides this, the researcher's intuition was also used as, according to Khajeh et al (2014), a speaker's intuition can also be used in the identification of metaphors.…”

The notion "language mirrors the structure of human cognition" is applicable, especially when the same ideas are presented to different speech communities. This is so because speakers of different speech communities do not see a particular concept in a similar manner. Their experiences are the key factors as to why they express certain concepts in certain ways. This paper compares and contrasts three Idealised Cognitive Models (ICMs) namely, kinaesthetic image schemas, conceptual metaphors, and metonymies, that underlie the linguistic expressions in Dato' Lat's graphic novel, The Kampung Boy, with the ICMs found in its Malay version, Budak Kampung. This is to investigate if the thought processes in both languages, especially when conveying the same ideas, are similar or otherwise. Results show that the ICMs that were used in The Kampung Boy were either maintained, modified, dropped, or added in its Malay version. This paper suggests that no individuals experience and perceive the same things similarly despite belonging to the same culture and the same linguistic community. In addition, it also supports the notion that knowledge in the similarities and differences in the conceptualisation of ideas by people across cultures is important as it enables those from different linguistic backgrounds to appreciate the linguistic expressions used by different speech communities. This hence, helps them to understand the cultures of people all over the world without having to directly be in physical contact with them.

“…In addition, metaphors of emotion function with specific cultural elements unique in different cultural contexts (Kövecses, 2005, p. 235). Khajeh et al (2013), for example, extend the conceptual metaphor of SADNESS IS FLUID IN A CONTAINER and propose that sadness can also be an emotional experience that involves heat in Persian, thereby adding an extensive cultural characteristic that SADNESS IS A HOT FLUID IN A CONTAINER by drawing evidence from their cultural notions and models.…”

“…It brings "two distant domains (or concepts) into correspondence with each other" (Kövecses, 2000, p. 4). Conceptual metaphors of emotions have been investigated in wide-ranging text types, including both verbal and visual discourse, such as advertisements, news, and financial reports (e.g., Kövecses, 1986Kövecses, , 1990Kövecses, , 2000Yu, 2009;Abbott and Forceville, 2011;Khajeh et al, 2013;Nguyen, 2013;Türker, 2013;Patowari, 2015;Luo, 2016;Csillag, 2017). Those investigations have identified how abstract feelings are mapped from the source domain of physical entities and have implied further research issues, such as cultural factors in constructing metaphors.…”

Earlier literature on conceptual metaphor studies has extensively examined verbal metaphors of sadness in different text types and with cultural variations. However, there has been by far limited research on the visual metaphor of sadness. Adopting a socio-cognitive perspective, this study investigates the conceptual metaphor of sadness in the exemplary case of Chinese poetry comics drawn by Cai Zhizhong. The findings reveal that (1) BEING SAD IS BEING CONFRONTED WITH NATURAL FORCE and BEING SAD IS BEING PHYSICALLY ISOLATED are the two most frequently occurring visual metaphors across the panels; (2) all the visual metaphors at play can be explained according to the conceptual metaphor theory; (3) SADNESS IS BITTERSWEET FOOD OR DRINK and BEING SAD IS BEING PHYSICALLY ISOLATED are two additional kinds of sadness metaphors identified; and (4) the visual metaphors of sadness with Chinese cultural variations are rooted in mainstream Chinese cultural philosophies in the relevant period of history. The article also discusses the underlying mechanisms of the investigated visual metaphors in the Chinese culture by unveiling three cultural characteristics in the particular context.
