| dc.description.abstract | This study mainly investigated the semantic features of metaphorical expressions in tennis commentaries in English. With the analysis of instances of metaphor in English sport commentaries, this thesis also aimed to point out the similarities and differences in terms of the semantic mechanisms between figurative metaphors and conceptual metaphors used in tennis’s commentaries to offer some suggestions for learning and translating the metaphorical expressions for commentators and translators. The study collected 300 samples from English tennis commentaries then analyzed the data on syntactic and semantic aspects based on the basis of the traditional view and contemporary view of metaphor. The findings about semantic and syntactic features of metaphor expressions and the semantic mechanisms for two main types of metaphor: figurative metaphor and conceptual metaphor are partly proposed to contribute to better the awareness of learners, commentators and translators in learning and translating a tennis commentary in English effectively and correctl | en_US |
