“…Studies on metaphorical-concepts framing are studies that use frames that represent a metaphorical understanding of the issue under investigation. Almost one in three political-framing experiments involves this form of metaphorical framing (Brugman, Burgers, & Steen, 2017). One of the clearest examples is the 'strategy frame'.…”

“…A frame was coded as metaphorical when the name of the frame implied a comparison between a political domain (target domain) and a non-political domain (source domain). The source domain was identified by searching for [1] The data reported in this paper draw to a limited extent on data previously published elsewhere (Brugman & Burgers, 2018;Brugman et al, 2017 m e ta ph o r i c a l f r a m i n g : w o r d s v s. c o n c e pt s the name of the frame in the online version of the Macmillan Dictionary -British English (online <www.macmillandictionary.com>) and by establishing its basic meaning.

Metaphorical framing in political discourse through words vs. concepts: a meta-analysis

Conceptual metaphor theory and other important theories in metaphor research are often experimentally tested by studying the effects of metaphorical frames on individuals’ reasoning. Metaphorical frames can be identified by at least two levels of analysis: words vs. concepts. Previous overviews of metaphorical-framing effects have mostly focused on metaphorical framing through words (metaphorical-words frames) rather than through concepts (metaphorical-concepts frames). This means that these overviews included only experimental studies that looked at variations in individual words instead of at the broader logic of messages. For this reason, we conducted a meta-analysis (k = 91, N = 34,783) to compare the persuasive impact of both types of metaphorical frames. Given that patterns of metaphor usage differ across discourse domains, and that effects may differ across modalities and discourse domains, we focused on one mode of presentation and one discourse domain only: verbal metaphorical framing in political discourse. Results showed that, compared to non-metaphorical frames, both metaphorical-words and metaphorical-concepts frames positively influenced beliefs and attitudes. Yet, these effects were larger for metaphorical-concepts frames. We therefore argue that future research should more explicitly describe and justify which level of analysis is chosen to examine the nature and effects of metaphorical framing.

“…In another systematic literature review (Brugman, Burgers & Steen, 2017), we searched for experimental studies, published from 2000 onwards, that included political framing as an independent (predictor) variable. We then looked at each frame and coded whether it could be classified as a metaphorical-concept frame (e.g., strategy frame, horserace frame, game frame), or not (e.g., issue frame, positive frame).…”

“…analysis. For instance, our earlier review (Brugman et al, 2017, see section 3.2) showed that many social-scientific framing studies contained at least one metaphorical-concept frame. Because many of these framing studies did not explicitly reference metaphor, they were excluded from earlier meta-analyses into the effects of metaphor.…”

Systematic literature reviews: Four applications for interdisciplinary research Highlights • Many pragmatics projects have an interdisciplinary focus. • We argue that systematic literature reviews are appropriate for interdisciplinary integration. • We provide four applications for systematic literature reviews in interdisciplinary research. • These are (1) mapping constructs across disciplines; (2) bridging theories. • They also include (3) contrasting research methods; (4) quantitative meta-analysis.

“…From a constructivist perspective, framing is regarded as an act of communication (Brugman et al 2017, Nerlich 2010) that is operationalized as linguo-cognitive devices for efficiently presenting relatively complex issues to make them accessible to lay audiences (Arrese-Vara-Miguel 2016: 135). In political discourse, framing involves linguistic and conceptual content about the issue under discussion (Burgers et al 2016).…”

This article presents a qualitative study aimed at investigating the framing of political discourse associated with the EU visa liberalization with Ukraine. This study seeks to address the framing of the EU visa liberalization process in Ukrainian political discourse published online by several leading high-quality Internet news resources, e.g. 112ua, Censor.Net, or UNIAN. The corpus of the study is comprised of 34 articles that have been analysed from the vantage point of framing methodology developed by Entman (2004) and Dahl (2015). The results of the qualitative investigation reveal that Ukrainian political discourse associated with the EU visa liberalization with Ukraine is framed by means of such frames as the Building, the Divorce, the European Integration, the Game, the Home, the Hostage, and the Journey. These findings are further presented and discussed in the article.
