Abstract
Metaphors, and figurative language in general, have been a phenomenon studied by a great number of linguists, philosophers, and psychologists. The beginning of their exploration dates back to the time of Aristotle. Despite the popular belief that metaphors are a feature be-longing exclusively to poetry or rhetoric, cognitive linguistics and conceptual metaphor theory prove this idea to be wrong. Conceptual metaphors can be found in everyday communication. They are created on the basis of experience and our knowledge about the world around us. Their conventionality range can encapsule highly conventional expressions as well as the innovative ones created on a daily basis by creative speakers. However, the fact that they are so closely re-lated to different cultural environments and corresponding conceptual systems represents a sort of a challenge for the process of translation. Due to potential diversities in the source language and the target language, it is necessary to convert them accurately and maintain their nature. That is why there are numerous metaphor translation strategies according to which a metaphorical ex-pression can be transferred from the source to the target text. The aim of this paper is to show how one such typology functions in the context of translation from English into Croatian. The corpus-based research consists of the analysis of 20 sentence pairs from the source language (en) and the target language (hr), each containing a metaphorical expression in at least one of the in-stances. The texts that served as a basis for the corpus were George Orwell’s novel 1984 and its Croatian translation by Antun Šoljan.
