Abstract

This paper is concerned with the conceptualization of ANGER in English and Vietnamese. The paper offers a critical contrastive analysis of English and Vietnamese conceptual schemata or cultural models (Quinn, 1991) of ANGER by examining the semantic motivation behind the idioms that express the emotion in the two languages. This paper also aims to prove that the metaphors involved in the idioms have a strong link not only to physiological, but also to cultural, influences.
