Chapter Five Discussion

5.1 Discussion of Similarities in CTE and CQJE

From the analysis in Chapter 4, there are a plethora of shared metaphors between CTE and CTQJE, such as INCREASE IN NUMBER IS DOWN, ECONOMY IS A PLANT, and ENTITY IS AN INDIVIDUAL. For such similarity, there are two potential reasons.

The selection of a given metaphor is thus a reflection of the cultural environment shared by both the writers and readers of such language, and is inextricably linked to the larger intercultural dynamics underlying conceptual metaphors. TE and TQJE, as renowned English-language periodicals in the field of economics and business, rely heavily on conceptual metaphors rooted in the cultural roots of the English-speaking world.
