Conceptual Metonymy as a Cognitive Mechanism Underlying Euphemisms for War
Euphemisms are an integral part of political discourse, and politicians tend to euphemize numerous topics for different reasons. This paper attempts to identify euphemisms for war and conceptual metonymies underlying their formation in war speeches of G.W. Bush and B. Obama. Euphemisms for war have been extracted from speech transcripts and grouped according to conceptual metonymies underlying their formation. Considering their different political and presidential ideologies and different views on wars waged during their respective presidential terms, the paper attempts to determine whether the two American presidents use different conceptual metonymies as cognitive mechanisms for euphemizing the topic war, and whether the purposes of euphemization of the topic war are: reframing (changing listeners’ conceptual frames in Lakoff’s (2004) terms), saving their own faces, politeness or something different.
