The paper aims to elucidate how metaphors are utilized for political framing by analyzing the metaphor data regarding the recent issue of the state-authored Korean history book. The analysis of data reveals that the ruling party attacks the opposition party by predominantly using the critical metaphor [OPPOSITION PARTY IS UNDISCIPLINED CHILD]. On the other hand, the opposition party emphasizes the retreat of democracy by using the critical metaphor [GOOD IS FRONT/UP AND BAD IS BACK/DOWN]. We further observe that each party strategically embeds the similar metaphor expressions into a particular frame of thinking in which people are unconsciously led to think in a particular direction. We argue that the ruling party’s metaphorical expressions faithfully reflect Lakoff(2006)’s strict father model in that the opposition party is framed as an undisciplined child who should be disciplined by the strict father/country. On the contrary, the framing by the opposition party is motivated by Lakoff’s ‘freedom’ concept. We predict that each political party can change their political framing or concrete metaphors depending on the political and societal changes, which indicates that the influence of political framing and metaphor is bidirectional. We also note that it is important to consider the unique characteristics of political geography in Korea, such as the division of two Koreas. This paper is expected to shed light on our understanding of the strategic metaphor usages in political discourse.
Abstract
The paper aims to elucidate how metaphors are utilized for political framing by analyzing the metaphor data regarding the recent issue of the state-authored Korean history book. The analysis of data reveals that the ruling party attacks the opposition party by predominantly using the critical metaphor [OPPOSITION PARTY IS UNDISCIPLINED CHILD]. On the other hand, the opposition party emphasizes the retreat of democracy by using the critical metaphor [GOOD IS FRONT/UP AND BAD IS BACK/DOWN]. We further observe that each party strategically embeds the similar metaphor expressions into a particular frame of thinking in which people are unconsciously led to think in a particular direction. We argue that the ruling party’s metaphorical expressions faithfully reflect Lakoff(2006)’s strict father model in that the opposition party is framed as an undisciplined child who should be disciplined by the strict father/country. On the contrary, the framing by the opposition party is motivated by Lakoff’s ‘freedom’ concept. We predict that each political party can change their political framing or concrete metaphors depending on the political and societal changes, which indicates that the influence of political framing and metaphor is bidirectional.
