Abstract
dc.description.abstract
The main purpose of this study is to carry out a descriptive and comparative analysis of
conceptual metaphors (CM’s) in metal and pop lyrics based on the theory proposed by
Lakoff and Johnson in their influential book ‘Metaphors We Live By’, published in
1980. In this work, they claim that metaphors are not constrained to poetic language, but
are also part of everyday language. In this sense, they claim that metaphor is not only a
stylistic feature of language but also an essential process of human thought and
conceptualisation.
