Temprature Metaphors In Arabic And English: A Contrastive Study
2022
Overview
The differences between English and Arabic metaphors can be confusing and challenging for second language learners and translators. The purpose of this research is to compare and contrast between temperature metaphors pertaining to (hot, warm, cool, cold, ha:rr jl^, dafi? and ba:rid 4j?) in English and Arabic to find similarities and differences between them in terms of functions, frequencies, structures, collocations and the fields they were attested in. The data were collected from dictionaries, corpora, websites, advertisements and daily life conversations. The findings revealed that temperature metaphors in English were more frequently used than they are in Arabic. In addition, the functions used in English temperature metaphors are more and varied. Another finding revealed that Arabic does not have an equivalent to the English word \"cool\". Finally, English temperature metaphors are attested in more fields than in Arabic.
