Abstract

According to “the” definition, metaphors conceptualize an abstract noun (i.e. a noun that is relatively burdensome to construe like ‘anger’, ‘love’, ‘life’, etc.) through a concrete one / ones. The first domain is called target, the latter is called source; and the link (mapping) between these two is based upon (1) a perceptual or / and (2) a culture-bound association. A prime example of a mixed type association could be sometimes, life (abstract) is like a boxing match (concrete): you have to push through life’s hardships! Although voluminous data about the metaphors of anger in linguistically rather diverse languages (like Hungarian, American English, Spanish, etc.) are available, these publications do not cover the two linguæ francæ of the historical Nusantara, Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Melayu. According to the experts’ literature, anger is often and language-independently (!) conceptualized as ‘a substance in a container’, as ‘an opponent’, as ‘a weapon’ or as ‘an object belonging to someone’; however, the salience of these metaphors shows slight differences (Kövecses / Szelid / Nucz et al. 2015). In this paper, we will discuss whether anger is conceptualized similarly in Bahasa Indonesia. As there is a wide selection of words for anger / angry (marah, kesal, sebal, jengkel, gusar, ngegas, gondok, etc.) that represents diatopic and diastratic variations, and even semantic differences, we had conducted a frequency of occurrence analysis in Google to find the most salient term. Based on this very term, we performed interviews with ten native speakers, gathered metaphors, and, after a primary evaluation of the data, we classified them according to their respective metaphoric concept (‘substance in a container’, etc.). Subsequently, we also tried to identify culture- / language-specific metaphors or metaphoric patterns that yet cannot be found in the specialist literature, and looked at the reasons behind the existence of these metaphoric concepts.

Abstract

The study aims at viewing the second language learners enrolled in the Bridge Course of English, at Aligarh Muslim University (AMU). The Bridge Course is of a year’s duration and the objective is to prepare the learner with ‘institutionalised supplement education and wider employment avenues’. This is done with the aim to mainstream the ESL learners who have Urdu as their mother tongue and have learned Arabic as a foreign language in Madarsa. Their need to learn a second foreign language, which is the global English, has been explored from the perspective of motivation and identity. The study attempts to probe into the dimensions of identity and emergence of self among learners. It has been substantiated with quantitative and qualitative analysis by using SPSS version 17 software and one way ANOVA univariate test. The findings suggest that, compared to the learners’ having only instrumental motivation towards the target language, their possession of both integrative and instrumental motivation in line with their ideal self and ought-to self were invested more into the learning of target language.
