(eng) In the wake of Lakoff and Johnson’s seminal work (1980), much attention has been devoted to the study of metaphors not as rhetorical figures, but as conceptual tools to express a complex reality in more familiar terms. While conceptual metaphors occur in every area of life, the political domain remains a particularly rich source of metaphors. As Semino puts it: “It is often claimed that the use of metaphor is particularly necessary in politics, since politics is an abstract and complex do- main of experience, and metaphors can provide ways of simplifying complexi- ties and making abstractions accessible” (2008, p.90). Moreover, “if metaphor is at the heart of cognitive framing then it should be crucial to political study” (De Landtsheer, 2009, p. 60).
