Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject Speech Science / Linguistics, grade: 2,3, Free University of Berlin (Deutsche und Niederländische Philologie), course: Conceptual Metaphor Theory, language: English, abstract: In MORAL POLITICS George Lakoff (2002) claims that political orientations are based on family structures and functions. These are expressed by metaphors. This paper discusses the possibility of detecting political metaphors on the base of the Lakoff approach. The German TV discussion of MERKEL and SCHRÖDER in 2006 serve as the corpus. Several fields of metaphors are discussed: WAR, SPORTS, etc. An interesting American approach is tested on a European corpus.
