July 1, 1896) was an American author and abolitionist She came from the Beecher family, a famous religious family Stowe wrote thirty books, including novels, three travel memoirs, and collections of articles and letters She was influential both for her writings and Stt.010.Mssv.BKD002ac.email.ninhd 77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77t@edu.gmail.com.vn.bkc19134.hmu.edu.vn.Stt.010.Mssv.BKD002ac.email.ninhddtt@edu.gmail.com.vn.bkc19134.hmu.edu.vn C.33.44.55.54.78.65.5.43.22.2.4 22.Tai lieu Luan 66.55.77.99 van Luan an.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.33.44.55.54.78.655.43.22.2.4.55.22 Do an.Tai lieu Luan van Luan an Do an.Tai lieu Luan van Luan an Do an for her public stances and debates on social issues She became best known for her best-selling anti-slavery story Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852), which depicts the harsh conditions experienced by enslaved African Americans The book reached an audience of millions as a novel or play and became influential in the United States and Great Britain, energizing anti-slavery forces in the American North, while provoking widespread anger in the South The researcher had chances to read the story at least three times since a little child and has a deep feeling about the plot, the meaning as well as characters of the story The story became one of the researcher‘s favorite literary works For all the above reasons, the present paper would like to take an investigation into conceptual metaphors in Uncle Tom‘s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe This study is hoped to contribute something to the research of metaphors in literature and to the teaching and learning foreign literature of students of English 1.2 Aim and objectives of the research This study aims at studying conceptual metaphors in the short story ―Uncle Tom‘s Cabin‖ by Harriet Beecher Stowe from cognitive linguistics perspective Specifically, it aims at exploring the conceptual metaphors generated in the short story and investigating how these conceptual metaphors can be categorized 1.3 Research questions In order to achieve the above aim and objectives, the study tries to seek out the answers to the following research questions: - What conceptual metaphors are generated in the short story? - How can we categorize these conceptual metaphors? The first research question is such formulated on the assumption that conceptual metaphors are pervasive throughout the story and it is the task of the researcher to explore the metaphors generated based on the diversifying linguistic resources utilized in the story Categorization is another crucial issue in cognitive linguistics Stt.010.Mssv.BKD002ac.email.ninhd

research question 1.4 Scope of the research The present research takes its basic theoretical background from the works of Lakoff and Johnson (1980), Lakoff and Turner (1989), Lakoff (2006) and some other authors in conceptual metaphor studies The study was conducted on the data of the short story ―Uncle Tom‘s Cabin‖ by Harriet Beecher Stowe Research into conceptual metaphors takes within its strand a variety of issues and perspectives such as frames, image schemas, etc However, within the limited scope of the study, those issues were intended to fall out of the aims of the research Moreover, no specific types of conceptual metaphors were predetermined for the investigation In other words, the whole story was investigated with a view to identifying any conceptual metaphors generated 1.5 Significance of the research Metaphor is one of the most basic phenomena in human language This kind of study has significance not only for investigation into language in use, but also for the research of human mind Beside the theoretical significance, this research also contributes to improve second language teaching and learning This thesis aims to analyze metaphorical saying from perspective of the Conceptual Metaphor Theory in literature works such as short story Uncle Tom‘s Cabin Both theoretical analysis and empirical study are conducted on the research Therefore, it can contribute a part to literature studying 1.6 Structure of the thesis This research comprises five chapters: Stt.010.Mssv.BKD002ac.email.ninhd

etc Metaphors can be considered the most challenging but most effective rhetoric method in literature, so they require special consideration Teachers should support students in exploring conceptual metaphors, metaphorical expressions to realize those concepts, how they are created and what they carry Metaphors are often based on common symbolic images like human, fire, life, death, etc, Therefore, learners should be encouraged to discern those symbols and how they are integrated into metaphors In summary teachers should bear the significance and techniques of teaching literary texts to students in their minds Literature is taught not only to provide literary knowledge but also in order for learners to practice the language in the right form and way They need to attach special importance to the study of figurative language to raise awareness of learners about its potential values and the beauty of a literary work 5.3 Limitations of and Suggestions for further research In the present study, the researcher has tried to find out all the conceptual metaphors generated in short story Uncle Tom‘s Cabin However, this research just a minor part in the research of conceptual metaphor In this short paper, although I have tried to cover a lot of phenomenon, but I have not reach to the core of them That is the limitation of the research Therefore, I hope my research can lay a background for the future researches related to conceptual metaphor in Uncle Tom‘s Cabin and other literature works 40 Stt.010.Mssv.BKD002ac.email.ninhd
