Movement has a tremendous impact on human actions and thoughts because it is closely attached to our daily activities. As a result, terms of movement play an important role in expressing changes in both physical and emotional worlds, including love. Love becomes more vivid and diversified thanks to the terms of movement, which is a result of our investigation under the light of the conceptual metaphor theory raised by Lakoff and Johnson.

In the domain of Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG), the term ‘grammatical metaphor’ as coined by Michael Halliday (2004) refers to variation in the expression of meaning, which aims to transform the functions of grammatical elements that constitute meaning [1]. Grammatical metaphor (GM), also seen as an incongruent form of expression, has become a predominant feature of official or scientific discourses.

The research findings show that Vietnamese people use the house to conceptualize the family as a place to shelter and protect each member. Besides, different parts of the house including the roof, rooftop, pillar, space and the activities of building, destroying the house are also used to express the ways Vietnamese people perceive the roles of the father, husband, family relationships, establishment and breakup and protection of the family. The use of the house to express views of the family demonstrates distinctive cultural features of the Vietnamese people.

In the domain of Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG), the term “nominalisation” is used to refer to non-congruent metaphorical modes of expression, which is a predominant tendency characteristic of grammatical metaphor (Halliday 1985/1994). As an alternative way of encoding verbal meanings, nominalisations perform important ideological functions.

Our findings reveal that the novelty of love metaphors in poetry does not lie in concepts but in linguistic expressions thanks to the four above techniques, among which combination is employed much more than the others in both languages. Furthermore, both conceptual and linguistic metaphors of love are found to be similar between English and Vietnamese poetry, which is supposed to result from the universality of metaphor.

My first day of work on this essay was mostly invested in gathering and sorting ideas expressed in several conversations in which I took part over the course of the recent weeks. I also addressed the presentation of the whole, and decided on the various visual elements. In one of those virtual discussions, I have compared illegal file sharing to cancer. As I recalled the exchange, the disease seemed like an apt metaphor to inform the design of the book.

Although some progress has been made in the area of metaphor understanding, little has been made in metaphor generation. Current solutions rely upon a rather direct encoding of alternatives. There is no computational theory that can account for metaphor generation from basic principles. Although generating all types of metaphors from basic principles is very difficult, there is a subset of metaphors that are prevalent in natural expressions and perhaps more amenable to computational approaches. We call these transparentlymotivated (T-M) metaphors (Jones and McCoy 1992).

Automatic processing of metaphor can be clearly divided into two subtasks: metaphor recognition (distinguishing between literal and metaphorical language in a text) and metaphor interpretation (identifying the intended literal meaning of a metaphorical expression). Both of them have been repeatedly addressed in NLP. This paper is the first comprehensive and systematic review of the existing computational models of metaphor, the issues of metaphor annotation in corpora and the available resources. ...

Metaphors pervade our language because they are elastic enough to allow a speaker to express an affective viewpoint on a topic without committing to a specific meaning. This balance of expressiveness and indeterminism means that metaphors are just as useful for eliciting information as they are for conveying information.
