| Abstract |
A questionnaire investigating the use of metaphor in expressing imagined emotions was administered to 136 undergraduate students. Five categories of metaphor function were identified in this research ...- Transmission, Image, Play, Specification, and Indirectness. In compiling the results of this study I have created a scale to show the metaphor function and its relationship to the expression of emotions, in particular sadness and happiness, before and after the use of metaphor. T-tests were used to compare two groups, the strength of emotion before metaphor is expressed, and the effect of metaphor on imagined emotions. It was found that as for sadness Image and as for happiness Transmission do not work for the strong emotion than the weak emotion. Furthermore, in regard to the effect of metaphor on imagined emotions, the results showed that Image and Transmission strengthen sad emotions, and Image and Specification strengthen happy emotions. In conclusion, this study showed that different emotions are affected in different ways with different metaphor functions.show more
