This paper examines metaphorical expressions and their conceptual metaphors, found in Alexandar Hemon’s short stories. The corpus of this paper is two stories: The Lives of Others and The Kauders Case. The stories are taken from The Book of My Lives both in the Bosnian and English language. The stories used for the corpus of this paper were first written in English and that is why the research will start from the English language corpus. The Bosnian language translation was written by Irena Žolf and her translation is used for the Bosnian language corpus of this paper. The main goal of the paper is to show what happened when metaphorical expressions of one language came into the other on the conceptual metaphor level. In this paper the quality of the translation, translation procedures and translation strategies are not researched. It is hypothesised that most of the metaphorical expressions remained equal after they came into the other language as evidenced by the results in the conclusion. Naturally, conceptualization of certain concepts can differ (more, less or completely) among languages, however, another hypothesis is that there is a similarity in conceptualization for abstract concepts between mentioned languages. For the identification of metaphorical expressions MIPVU is used, that is adjusted Metaphor Identification Method Vrije Universiteit. Categorization of the examples in the corpus for English language and for B/H/S language is done according to Schmidt (2015).

Key words: conceptual metaphor, MIPVU, structural metaphor, ontological metaphor, orientational metaphor, translation of conceptual metaphors

Enisa Kajtazović: Univerzalnost konceptualne metafore s komponentom sreća u b/h/s i engleskom jeziku

U radu se istražuje da li u b/h/s jeziku postoje konceptualne metafore i odgovarajući lin-gvistički izrazi za konceptualizaciju sreće, koji su slični ili jednaki primjerima koncep-tualizacije sreće u engleskom jeziku. Pretpostavka je da je konceptualizacija apstraktnog pojma 'sreće' u oba jezika slična, te da taj pojam uzrokuje stvaranje konceptualnih me-tafora koje su više univerzalne, odnosno slično konceptualizirane u mnogim jezicima. Za teorijski okvir se većinski uzimaju istraživanja autora Z. Kövecsesa, G. Lakoffa i M. Johnsona. Početno istraživanje kreće iz engleskoga govornog područja, odnosno engleskih primjera konceptualnih metafora, te se zatim traže odgovarajući primjeri u b/h/s jeziku. Primjeri za b/h/s se pronalaze uz pomoć pretraživača Google čime se za korpus pretražuju svi online podaci. Ključne riječi: konceptualna metafora, univerzalnost konceptualne metafore, lingvistič-ki izrazi, kognitivna lingvistika.

Universality of conceptual metaphor with the component of happiness in B/C/S and English The research in this paper shows if there are conceptual metaphors in B/C/S and their linguistic expressions to conceptualize happiness, that are similar or equal to the examples of conceptualization of happiness in the English language. It is supposed that the conceptualization of the abstract term of happiness is similar in both languages, and that the term causes creation of metaphors that are more universal, or that are conceptualized more similarly in many languages. The theoretical scope is mostly based on works of Z. Kövecses, G. Lakoff and M. Johnson. The English language and its examples are the starting point for the research, i .e. the English examples of conceptual metaphors, then the appropriate examples are also sought after for the B/C/S language. B/C/S examples are extracted by Google browser that provides all online data of the corpus .

U radu se istražuju metaforični izrazi i njihove konceptualne metafore koje se koriste u kratkim pričama Aleksandra Hemona. Korpus rada su dvije priče: "Životi drugih" (The Lives of Others) i "Slučaj Kauders" (The Kauders Case). Priče su uzete iz Knjiga mojih života (The Book of My Lives) na b/h/s i engleskom jeziku. Priče koje su korištene za korpus ovog rada prvo su nastale na engleskom jeziku i zbog toga će istraživanje kretati od korpusa za engleski jezik. Na b/h/s jezik prevela ih je Irena Žolf i njen prijevod se koristi za b/h/s korpus ovog rada. Glavni cilj rada je prikazati šta se dogodilo kada su metaforični izrazi iz jednog jezika došli u drugi jezik na nivou konceptualnih metafora. U radu se ne istražuje kvalitet prijevoda, prevodilački postupci ili prevodilačke strategije. Pretpostavljeno je da je većina metaforičnih izraza ostala metaforična nakon prelaska u drugi jezik, o čemu svjedoče rezultati u zaključku. Naravno, konceptualizacija određenih pojmova se može razlikovati (više, manje ili u potpunosti) između jezika, međutim, druga pretpostavka jeste da se pojavljuje sličnost između pomenutih jezika u konceptualizaciji za apstraktne pojmove. Za identifikaciju metaforičnih izraza koristi se prilagođena MI-PVU, odnosno prilagođena metoda identifikacije metafore Univerziteta Vrije (Metaphor Identification Method Vrije Universiteit). Kategorizacija primjera u korpusu za engleski jezik i za b/h/s jezik vrši se prema Schmidtu (2015).

The evergreen shrub Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC. (Rutaceae), originating from warm temperate and subtropical Asia, has existed successfully in the Jevremovac Botanical Garden in Belgrade for more than 80 years. The seasonal pattern of water management in leaves, electrolyte leakage, essential oil composition, and leaf anatomy were examined in order to understand the resistance and viability of this subtropical shrub in the temperate continental climate of Belgrade, Serbia.

jeziku nalazimo tri vrste afiksa: prefiksi, sufiksi i infiksi. Prve dvije vrste su vrlo česte, dok je treća jako rijetka. navodi primjer abso-bloody-lutely u kojem je infiks bloody umetnut u sredinu riječi absolutely. Dok prefiksi ne dovode do promjene vrste riječi, kao u primjerima fair (pridjev) un-fair (pridjev),

The aim of the paper is to analyze metaphors used in B&H and the US newspaper articles about persons with disabilities. Persons with disabilities are a vulnerable group, marginalized, stereotyped and stigmatized everywhere. Although developed countries, especially the US, have made a significant progress in this field, the position of this population is still very difficult in third-world and developing countries, such as Bosnia and Herzegovina. This study seeks to explore how the position of persons with disabilities is reflected in metaphors used in media. The first aim of the paper is a contrastive analysis of the most common metaphorical source domains in Bosnian and American press, and the second is a three-dimensional analysis of conceptual metaphors: linguistic, conceptual and communicative level.
