Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze Donne’s conceits which are delineated as metaphors by Law (2011, p. 3) in the light of conceptual metaphor theory proposed by Lakoff and Johnson (1980) to gauge what aspects of cognitive linguistics are applicable to Donne’s metaphors. For this purpose, the choice of all-pervasive concept in his poetry has been discussed as an image schema of death. Its various conceptual facets have been explored to find the variety of conceptual metaphors used by Donne to establish the single construal of death. The most conclusive point; however, was to find out if this image schema of death is far from conventional and be liable to fit into Monotheist notion of resurrection elucidated by Abdullah and Lutfi (2019, p. 86). 

Keywords:  Cognitive linguistics, conceptual metaphor theory, image schemas, conceptual blending, Monotheistic notion of death and resurrection.
