Variation in the Linguistic Expression of the Conceptual Metaphor Life is a (Gambling) Game
This chapter is intended as a contribution to the study of the general issue of cross-cultural variation in metaphor, i.e. universality of conceptual metaphor across languages and cultures. Its main concern is with the investigation of the differences in the expression of a presumably shared conceptual metaphor, LIFE IS A GAMBLING GAME, in English, Hungarian and Croatian. It is well attested in these languages, but in most cases the expression of the metaphor is slightly different. There are subtle cross-linguistic differences in the expression of the same conceptual metaphor concerning the degree of linguistic elaboration, kinds of linguistic expressions used, degree of conventionalization, degree of specificity, and the scope of metaphor. Our data show that the three languages overlap in part, but that Croatian and Hungarian are closer with the respect to the dominant cultural models revealed by metaphorical expressions.
