| Summary: | The article focuses on the conceptualisation of anger and lust in American English and Classical Hebrew. By comparing the metaphor systems of these emotions in English with those found in the Hebrew Bible, culturally specific dimensions of metaphorical conceptualisation and expression of emotion and attitudes are investigated. In both languages anger and lust share several source domains, a characteristic which indicates that they can be conceptually linked. The main meaning foci of these metaphors in English and Hebrew are diverse, however, and should be seen as products of peculiar cultural experience. |
