Taking back control: The role of image schemas in the Brexit discourse
Can image schemas sustain the discourse on Brexit while building up emotional and evaluative dimensions in the process? This paper analyzes the embodied meaning used in the Brexit discourse as seen through the lens of the pro-leave newspaper (The Telegraph). By way of a discourse-based approach, the main goal of this study is to show the persuasive role that two recurrent image schemas (CONTAINMENT AND FORCE) play in the characterization of the B…
Legitimating meritocracy as part of the American Dream through the ritual of commencement speeches
Following an interdisciplinary approach anchored in Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Critical Metaphor Analysis (CMA), this article focuses on a genre which has flourished particularly at US colleges and universities: commencement speeches. The aim is to analyze this type of public communication from the perspective of legitimation, as part of CDA, to uncover the ideology behind this social practice, which functions as a rite of passage into…
Epistemic and non-epistemic modals: The key to interpreting the spirit of counter-terrorism United Nations Security Council resolutions
A modality-based approach to the United Nations Security Council’s ambiguous positioning in the resolutions on the Syrian armed conflict
This paper examines the role of deontic and epistemic central modality as a discursive strategy to express vagueness in the United Nations Security Council Resolutions on the Syrian armed conflict. The paper follows a corpus-based methodology with a two-fold objective: (i) identification, quantification and analysis of the central modal verbs retrieved from the resolutions, and (ii) the description of the communicative functions performed by thes…
How women are imagined through conceptual metaphors in United Nations Security Council Resolutions on women, peace and security
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 is a landmark pronouncement on the Women, Peace and Security Agenda. Not only does this resolution highlight the important role of the involvement of women in peace processes, but it also stresses the importance of their equal participation in all efforts for the maintenance and promotion of peace. Furthermore, it also triggers the approval of some other resolutions, which are all further elaboratio…

A percept/concept/ual approach to stereotype reading in Fowles’ Lieutenant’s Woman
This paper aims to decipher the character of Sarah in John Fowles’ The French Lieutenant’s Woman (1969, translated by Fowles into English in 1977 and revised in 1994). Our analysis draws on the Grammar of Visual Designs developed by Gunther Kress and Theo Van Leeuwen in 2006 linked to the concept of stereotyping as social arrangements which may vary from society to society as much as on the Theory of Blended Spaces defended by Fauconnier and Turn…
Humanizing brands through story-telling in magazine advertising
Within the framework of Conceptual Metaphor Theory, where metaphor allows human beings to map structure from concrete realms of experience (based on sensory-motor experience) to other more abstract domains, the Source-Path-Goal schema stands as one of the central concepts in human conceptualization. Its importance lies in the way it unifies and gives structure to concepts of motion. In turn, this embodied notion shapes our understanding of a purp…
Authorial Voice Behind the Use of Multimodal Metaphors in Fashion Magazine Advertising
This paper proposes the integration into a coherent whole of current insights from two linguistic approaches, cognitive and systemic functional linguistics, with the aim of trying to develop an analytical tool that will allow users a deeper understanding when examining advertising discourse, which is characterized by relying on a multimodal universe since two are the semiotic modes used: language and pictures. Under this framework, two different …
The role of pictorial metaphor in magazine advertising
Most studies on metaphor, in the wake of the work published by Lakoff and Johnson (1980), have mainly focused on its verbal component. Few scholars have attempted to approach the study of metaphor from the perspective of its non-verbal manifestations. Among them, I will mention Forceville (1994, 1996), who has done extensive research into the use of what he has coined “pictorial metaphor” and has provided an interesting account of it in the domai…
