Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject Speech Science / Linguistics, grade: 1,0, Free University of Berlin (Deutsche und Niederländische Philologie), course: Psycholinguistik und Metapherntheorie, 7 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: This paper will discuss the definition of metaphor with respect to different approaches. To provide a vaster background for such a discussion objectivity and subjectivity will necessarily be explained. This discussion will be accompanied by a contrastive examination of the concept LOVE in several languages, namely German, Italian, and Japanese. An explanation of differences and similarities of these concepts will conclude the discussion part. Based on the results of my examples, I will show the necessity of supporting the experientialist approach.
