La conceptualización metafórica de los sentimientos de alegría y felicidad en español y polaco. Un estudio basado en corpus
Metaphorical conceptualization of joy and happiness in Spanish and Polish. A corpus-based study

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present a corpus-based contrastive analysis of some metaphorical conceptualizations of the notions expressed by the Spanish words alegría and felicidad and their translation equivalents in Polish: radość and szczęście. The investigation shows some intralingual and interlingual differences in the degree to which these lexemes participate in the conceptual metaphors based on the source domains of GIVING, SEARCHING and FINDING, JOURNEY and LIQUID IN A CONTAINER. The results of the analysis of the language data allow the formation of hypotheses about the way of understanding the feelings of joy and happiness in Polish and Spanish.
