THE EURO-SHIP AND ITS CREW: TOWARD A METAPHORICAL RECONCEPTUALIZATION OF THE EU
Political changes in Europe in recent decades have created a new and unfamiliar political and linguistic landscape. In a period of rapid growth of science and technology, globalization processes, integration and disintegration processes, a new meta-language appears, based on new metaphors. The main focus of this research is to develop a discourse analysis framework for addressing conceptual metaphors and new mental images of the EU. On reviewing the major databases of the European integration, several conceptual domains on which most of the EU discourse relies have been identified: space, movement/process, building/house, family, person/body. The results of the analysis show that body metaphors are among the most typical metaphorical mappings used in the data. At the same time, in the candidate countries (e.g. Croatia) the alternative schemas emerge. This paper provides a contrastive overview over the dominant metaphors of Euro-debates. It highlights the characteristic differences of the EU's 'image' within and outside the EU.
