Abstract
Human communication is rooted deeply in metaphors, even though we may not notice it. In fact, it is rooted so deeply that it can even influence the way we think, not to mention the way we speak. This fact is one of many reasons why this master's thesis tries to help shed some light onto metaphorical expressions. To be more precise, it focuses on translating conceptual metaphors and phraseological expressions pertaining to metaphors in the English language into the Croatian language in form of subtitles, thus not only showing the differences in the usage of metaphorical expressions, but also indicating differences in functioning in two different languages. The core of this master's thesis consists of metaphorical expressions taken from the first season of the American TV series The Office, the book Metaphors We Live by (Lakoff and Johnson 1980) and the typology proposed by Goran Schmidt (2012, 2014a, 2014b, 2015, etc.) for categorizing translations of conceptual metaphors. The thesis is constructed in such a way that it consists of a theoretical part which talks about conceptual metaphor and its subcategories, metaphors found in the first season of the show and its translations into the Croatian language found in subtitles, and the analytical part which consists of the analysis of said metaphors, along with the findings of the analysis. The metaphors are listed in order as they appear in The Office. What is more, contextual information is included. Timestamps and numbers of the episodes are included as well.
