Sažetak
The paper aims to contribute to the further development of research devoted to metaphors that make up specialized technical disciplines by exploring the use of head metaphors in marine engineering. For this purpose, a specialized corpus of marine engineering texts in English has been compiled in order to identify and analyze metaphorical instances of the word head. All tokens of the word head were extracted using Sketch Engine software and expressions that could be considered metaphorical were further analyzed manually by adopting a cognitive linguistic approach. The most frequent conceptual mapping involving metaphorical usage of the word head found in the corpus of marine engineering texts is HEAD IS TOP OR MOST IMPORTANT PART. Since cognitive linguists consider the process of metaphor to be universal, the non-literal uses of the word head in marine engineering terminology in English were also compared to their translations in Croatian language using An English-Croatian Encyclopaedic Marine Engineering Dictionary assuming that similar expressions would be found in both languages.
