 note = {This paper reports on a preliminary corpus-based comparative study of metaphors
in English and Japanese in the domain of “monetary policy” by central banks. In
particular, the study examines how the notion of money is conceptualized in the
two different languages through various metaphors. The underlying framework
adopted for the study is Conceptual Metaphor Theory, one of the theoretical
linchpins of Cognitive Linguistics widely employed to examine how figurative
use of language reflects the metaphorical nature of the human conceptual
structure. Using small corpora garnered in the print media, the study shows how
central banking is conceptualized as “fluid dynamics” in metaphorical terms, both
in English and Japanese, but also investigates some salient differences in the
surface realizations of such conceptual metaphors of money between the two
languages.},
