Background: Nowadays, conceptual metaphors should be used to transform abstract and complex topics into material with objective and concrete concepts that people deal with on a daily basis. In medical sciences, the use of conceptual metaphors can help the communication between physicians, patients and their families, or in the field of policy making related to these sciences.
Methods: This review study is a library study that was used to collect material from domestic and international databases using relevant keywords.
Results: Conceptual metaphor is present in all human daily life because the areas of human language and action are metaphorical. Imaginary schemas as a bridge provide the possibility of communicating between human physical experiences and more complex cognitive domains such as language. Corpus is a collection of transcribed written or spoken texts that can be used for linguistic analysis and description. The use of figures in the study of these concepts show well the aspects of human mental mechanism. Conceptual metaphors have been used in the expression of corona diseases and cancer and many researches have been done.
Conclusion:In this research, the study and analysis of the information presented in articles with the keywords "metaphor" and "disease" was done, and the corpus of news and articles related to diseases such as cancer and covid-19 and the existing metaphors were analyzed. |
