Swahili language - Opis:
- The paper analyzes Swahili proverbs from the perspective of cognitive processes, such as metaphor and metonymy, involved in the mapping between the proverbs’ surface structures (source domains) and their figurative meanings (target domains). Special attention is paid to the rich imagery of proverbs and the highly culture-specific choices of source domains, which draw from the geographical environment, local traditions and people’s beliefs and ideas. Swahili proverbs also creatively explore universal source domains, such as those of the human body or family relations.
