| dc.description.abstract | The present study investigates pictorial and multimodal metaphors which manifest in Algerian and non-Algerian political cartoons about the phenomenon of illegal immigration, for the sake of investigating how cartoonists from different countries and background conceptualize a common issue, pictorially and multimodally. The objectives behind this investigation are: to identify all the metaphors involved in each cartoon and highlight the source and target domain concepts used by Algerian and non-Algerian cartoonists, to interpret the metaphors revealing the mapped connotations from source onto target and check if they are manifestations of underlying conceptual metaphors, and to compare between Algerian and non-Algerian cartoons in terms of metaphorical representation and check whether other linguistic and cognitive tools are used together with the metaphors to construct meaning. To this end, forty cartoons (twenty Algerian and twenty non-Algerian) are analysed relying on Bounegru and Forceville’s (2011) framework for analysing pictorial and multimodal metaphors in political cartoons, using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. The results show that to a great extent, Algerian and non-Algerian cartoonists metaphorize illegal immigration in a similar way. They both represent the phenomenon with exaggerated negativity, the identified pictorial and multimodal metaphors are manifestations of underlying conceptual ones, and other meaning making mechanisms take part in the cartoons, especially metonymy and personification | en |
