Abstract

The article presents detailed analysis of the interrelations between metaphor, metonymy
and image schema in the metaphorical conceptualization of FEAR/STRACH in English and
Polish. The theoretical framework of the study is provided by the Conceptual Metaphor
Theory, which is one of the basic elements of Cognitive Linguistics. The material used in the
analytical part comes from various lexicographic sources and language corpora. The study
also deals with a comparative analysis of some elements of the conceptual model of FEAR
across the two languages.
