A cross-linguistic analysis of the ‘homework metaphor in German and English political discourse
|
|
|
|
Abstract:
A frequently encountered expression in political discourse across languages is the assertion that someone has not “done their homework”. As the expression is a combination of structural metaphor and understatement, it is a figurative frame that simplifies public debates by presenting complex issues such as economic reforms as simple tasks and stifles critical and consensual political debates by replacing questions of fairness and adequacy with unquestionable moral obligation. In spite of this manipulative force, metaphor research has paid little attention to this metaphor. I investigate its emergence and pragmatic effects in American and German newspaper discourse through the COHA/COCA and Die ZEIT corpora. Findings for both English and German show that, while the metaphor was originally used for positive self- and negative other-representation, it is now used increasingly often without specifying whether or not someone has done their homework, which is evidence to suggest that it has become accepted in public discourse as a normal way of framing political issues. ; This work is part of the ModevigTrad (Evidentiality and epistemicity in texts of evaluative discourse genres. Contrastive analysis and translation) project, funded by the Spanish Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (grant number FFI2014-57313-P).
