Conceptual Metaphor Theory: Comparison between Czech and English

In this paper I am going to compare the use of metaphors in Czech and English language, based on
Lakoff and Johnson's Conceptual Metaphor Theory. Although these two languages are quite different
when it comes to grammar, there might be underlying connections on another level. The survey will
show whether the metaphors share similar patterns, and therefore, whether the users of these
languages think in similar concepts. If some connections are found, it might contribute to the
original theory by unveiling new and unique examples.
