Doctoral thesis in social sciences and humanities: Season metaphors in english and vietnamese songs: A cognitive study

The thesis aims at examining the metaphors of season in English and Vietnamese songs in the light of Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT). Subsequently, a comparison is made to find out the similarities and differences between the conceptual metaphors of season in English and Vietnamese song lyrics when SEASON is treated as a target domain as well as a source domain. Simultaneously, several explanations are given as causes for these similarities and differences.
