Abstract
This paper explains the definition of the conceptual metaphor in general, as well as the three traditional approaches to metaphor: the so-called substitution view of metaphor, comparison view of metaphor and cognitive linguistic approach to metaphor. Those facts are then applied to the conceptual metaphors “Language is Mirror”, "Language is Window" and "Language is Path". Each metaphor's existence is shown in the English, as well as German and Croatian language with the help of ample example sentences. The example sentences show how the metaphors are actually used in those languages. The comparison between those three languages proves that the conceptual metaphors “Language is Mirror”, "Language is Window" and "Language is Path" is a cross-linguistically valid conceptual metaphor. It is also presented how different cultures, to which different languages belong, also affect the way of thinking, and as a consequence of that, conceptual metaphors, as well.
