    Metaphors from Other Sports in the Language of Soccer – Evidence from English and Polish
    (SORUS S.C. Wydawnictwo i Drukarnia Cyfrowa, 2009) Lewandowski, Marcin
    This paper investigates soccer metaphors that have been drawn from the vocabularies of other popular sports, such as boxing, track and field athletics, sailing, etc. The language material, which comes from English and Polish language sports websites, has been grouped and discussed according to source domains (i.e., specific sports). Drawing on Lakoff and Johnson’s theory of metaphor, the author analyzes four new conceptual metaphors: A SOCCER MAT CH IS A BOXING BOUT , SOCCER COMPETITION IS A RACE, A SOCCER TEAM IS A SAILING VESSEL, and A SOCCER MAT CH IS A GAME OF CHESS.
