Why Would We Rather Peg Out Than Simply Die?—How Do game Metaphors Help Us Deal with Death Across Languages and Cultures?
|
|
|
|
Abstract:
This article centres on the life is a game and death is the end of the game metaphors in various (often unrelated) cultures around the world and the linguistic manifestations of the metaphors in various natural languages. First, it explains why and how metaphor and metonymy are used as conceptual and linguistic ‘fig leaves’ to hide or tone down unpleasant or threatening concepts. Metonymy allows us to either zoom in on one aspect of a domain, or zoom out to de-emphasize the unpleasant details. Metaphor, on the other hand, lets us conceptualize death in terms of a completely different concept. One ‘completely different’ concept that is sometimes used in such a way is the concept of game. We argue that game lets us distance ourselves from the most terrifying aspects of death in a number of ways. Firstly, it may occasionally (although not very often) structure the concept of death or the final moments before death. Secondly, game may make death more approachable as an offshoot of a life structuring metaphor (e.g., life is a game or life is a sport, or more broadly life is a form of entertainment). Such cases are quite common, although there are naturally certain cross-linguistic differences in terms of the frequency of usage as well as the selection of specific games/sports as source domains. Finally, sometimes the calming effect achieved by the concept of game may only be explained within the framework of conceptual integration theory. In this article we argue that in examples like to dice with death the effect is achieved because the concept of death (whether or not in the form of the Grim Reaper) is enriched with an additional input space of a player. In this way, the frame of game playing (which is normally perceived a leisurely activity) and the domains of players (who do not treat the outcome of the game very seriously) overlap and tone down the other, rather gloomy input spaces. The metaphoric blend therefore permits us to think and talk about one of the most negatively evaluated human experiences, dying, in terms of one of the most positive experiences, playing a game. The obvious emotional appeal of this blending strategy helps explain its popularity across languages and cultures.
