Abstract

The study examines the conceptual metaphors and frames found in a work by Imam al-Ghazali, Kimiya al-Sa‘adah. The analysis employs Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) and frame analysis, using a qualitative descriptive method. The purpose of this study is to identify the conceptualization of “happiness” in the Islamic classical text and to contribute to cognitive linguistics. Based on the findings, the study identifies at least eight conceptual metaphors: HAPPINESS IS PURIFICATION, HAPPINESS IS CLOSENESS TO GOD, HAPPINESS IS SPIRITUAL GROWTH, HAPPINESS IS DEVOTIONAL INTIMACY, HAPPINESS IS DIVINE LOVE THAT GROWS, HAPPINESS IS REUNITING WITH GOD, HAPPINESS IS SELF-DISCIPLINE, and HAPPINESS IS AN ETERNAL SPIRITUAL JOURNEY. These conceptual metaphors form four frames through their underlying cognitive structures: self-purification, divine proximity, spiritual ascent, and eschatological reunion. From these findings, the researchers conclude that Imam al-Ghazali does not define happiness as worldly pleasure alone, but as the culmination of spiritual purification that leads a person back to God.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the source domain of the target domain of POLITICS and the nuances of its meaning in Indonesian online mass media. It employs a qualitative research method to investigate the conceptual metaphors of POLITICS using a corpus-based approach. The data were obtained from 350 Indonesian online news articles that discuss politics over a period exceeding 13 months, starting from the election campaign period to the post-election period. The total number of tokens in the entire corpus amounted to 144,852. The corpus was analyzed using the AntConc tool (version 4.2.4) by utilizing the 5L & 5R collocate feature and KWIC. The Metaphorical Identification Procedure (MIP) was applied to analyze metaphors. The findings demonstrated the conceptual metaphors with negative connotations, namely POLITICS IS A TRANSACTION, and POLITICS IS A KINGDOM, and neutral connotations, namely POLITICS IS PHYSICAL SPACE, POLITICS IS A DRAMA SHOW, and POLITICS IS LOWLAND. However, conceptual metaphors with negative connotations were significantly more prevalent in linguistic expressions, suggesting that these metaphors more accurately reflect the political realities of Indonesia during the late 2023 to 2024 period.
