Tracing jealousy and envy
This study offers a diachronic analysis of jealousy‐ and envy‐related vocabulary in English, drawing on 95 lexical items from the Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary ( HTOED ). While research on emotion concepts has traditionally focused on synchronic patterns and metaphorical structuring, comparatively little attention has been paid to the historical development of these notions. The present investigation adopts a systematic, t…
Timeless wisdom or shifting meaning
This study investigates the cross linguistic transmission and semantic development of death related proverbs in English, focusing on expressions with counterparts in Latin, French, German, Chinese, and Japanese. Drawing on Conceptual Metaphor Theory and cognitive semantic approaches, the analysis examines whether the metaphorical frameworks embedded in foreign originated proverbs are retained, partially shifted, or reinterpreted in English. A thr…
Cognitive metaphors of love among speakers of English as a foreign language
This study examines how love is metaphorically represented by non‐native English speakers, focusing on German learners of English as a second language. Drawing on interviews conducted in 2024, the research investigates the metaphorical linguistic features and conceptualizations used by 96 bachelor’s degree students when expressing love in English. Participants were asked to describe situations in which they would express love and to provide examp…
Animal proverbs
Proverbs exist in a plethora of languages to express worldly wisdom, frequently in a metaphorical way. A number of proverbs are documented in more than one language since speakers adopt them from cultures they have been in contact with. The focus of the present study is on animal proverbs in English which have a foreign equivalent in another language, such as French, Latin, Greek, Japanese or Arabic. The Oxford Dictionary of Proverbs (henceforth …
Recent metaphors of Brexit in the British press
In the referendum of 23 June 2016, the UK's decision to leave the EU in the course of a Brexit was very close, with 51.9% (Leave) versus 48.1% (Remain). A year after the final withdrawal from the European Union, disillusionment seems to have spread in Great Britain. The focus of previous linguistic studies is mostly on the language used during the Leave and Remain campaigns. Charteris–Black (2019) is the first book-length study to provide a syste…
Mining terms in the history of English
Mining is a broad and complex field. The search for and exploitation of minerals is unceasing in many countries worldwide. Before its collapse towards the close of the 20 th century, coal mining in the United Kingdom, for instance, which dates back to Roman antiquity, occurred in various regions of the country, such as Northumberland and Durham, North and South Wales, Yorkshire, Kent, and the East and West Midlands. An essential aim of the presen…
Immanent Critique as a Practice of Transplantation-Sylvia Wynter and Theodor W. Adorno
Sylvia Wynter, in her early writings (1968–1976), adopts Theodor W. Adorno's notion of immanent critique, the name he gives to an intellectual project they shared during the late 1960s. Wynter claims to have found her critical practice of undermining foundations in Adorno's writings: “Adorno was thinking in an entirely new way, everywhere questioning the presuppositions that underlay what he was saying” (Scott 2000, 153). Although Adorno's knowle…
Terms of endearment in English
Terms of endearment enjoy great popularity in all languages to express feelings such as affection and tenderness. The present paper concentrates on the use of these types of words in English. The Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary (henceforth the HTOED ) serves as a valuable tool to identify the plethora of terms of endearment which became established in English over the centuries
