Abstract

This research is conducted to analyse conceptual metaphor of cancer found in the stories of cancer patients. This research is aimed at explaining: (1) the source domain used to convey cancer, (2) the meaning of conceptual metaphor used by cancer patients to describe their experiences. The researcher uses a descriptive qualitative method. Therefore, this research uses content analysis as the research method. The sources of data are 5 selected stories taken from a Cancer Center Website. The results of this study show that there are three source domains of conceptual metaphors used to convey cancer. The source domains used to convey cancer are journey, blessing, and lesson. The meaning of the conceptual metaphor varies depending on the context and how it is used by the patients. As shown in the results, journey is the most frequently used source domain, with 19 metaphorical expressions, while blessing is the least frequently used source domain, with 7 metaphorical expressions. It is suggested that this research be used as a support or comparison in future research, particularly when discussing conceptual metaphors in communication. Subsequently, this research has benefited cognitive linguistics by identifying conceptual metaphors that exist in one-way communication, in this case, the cancer patients' experiences on a website.

Abstract

This study examines the use of metaphor in five selected poems by Mahmoud Darwish through the lens of conceptual metaphor theory. The research aims to identify the types of metaphors and analyze their expressions in the poems. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were taken from English translations and analyzed based on Lakoff and Johnson’s (1980) categories of structural, orientational, and ontological metaphors. The analysis identified 37 metaphorical expressions, with ontological metaphors being the most dominant, reflecting Darwish’s way of presenting abstract concepts such as land, memory, and identity in tangible forms. Structural metaphors also appeared significantly, often linking natural imagery with cultural and existential meaning, while orientational metaphors, though less frequent, conveyed symbolic value in spiritual contexts. These findings confirm that metaphor in Darwish’s poetry functions not only as a stylistic feature but as a cognitive tool that transforms personal and collective experiences into vivid imagery. The study concludes that metaphors play a central role in Darwish’s poetic craft and demonstrates the usefulness of conceptual metaphor theory for literary analysis. Although limited to a small sample and translated texts, this research contributes to understanding figurative language in modern Arabic poetry and opens opportunities for broader and comparative studies.

Abstract

Abstract This article examines the dialect variations of the Manggarai language spoken in West Manggarai, Central Manggarai, and East Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. Using a sociolinguistic approach and a qualitative descriptive method, the study aims to identify the forms of dialect variations and to describe their functions in everyday communication. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with three informants representing each region. The findings reveal four main types of dialect variation: regional (geographic) dialects, social (sociolect) dialects, temporal dialects, and mixed (geosocial) dialects. Regional variations are reflected in differences in vocabulary and pronunciation of greetings, verbs, nouns, adjectives, and adverbs. Social dialects arise from differences in age, education, and social status, while temporal dialects illustrate generational vocabulary shifts. Mixed dialects appear due to interactions between speakers of different regional and social backgrounds. Furthermore, the study identifies four communicative functions of these dialects: interactional, personal, representational, and heuristic. These functions demonstrate that language variation serves not only as a tool for communication but also as a means of reinforcing identity, expressing emotions, conveying information, and acquiring new knowledge. The results contribute to sociolinguistic studies of Indonesian regional languages and highlight the importance of dialect documentation for cultural preservation and language education.
