| dc.description.abstract | Various cross-cultural cognitive studies have been conducted on conceptual metaphors within animal-related proverbs. This work was an attempt to investigate the different conceptual mappings within bird-related proverbs and the influences culture has on the mapping process in both English and Kabyle languages. To meet this objective, I have used both the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) and the Cultural Cognitive Theory (CCT). The study covers a limited number of birds, including the general concept BIRD, HEN, COCK, EAGLE, CROW found in both languages, and a contrast between the GOOSE in the English language and the GUINEAFOWL in the Kabyle language. The results of the study revealed that both English and Kabyle do not share any similar conceptual mappings in all the bird metaphors. In addition, these differences in conceptual mappings are influenced by sociocultural factors such as power relations. Furthermore, I came to the conclusion that the conceptual metaphors within English and Kabyle bird-related proverbs are highly culture specific and do not reflect any universal aspect apart from the similar use of the source domain BIRD. | en |
