Journey and rest serve as source domains, while death functions as the target domain. Using the Cognitive Theory of Metaphor, EkeGusii euphemistic substitutes are analyzed through these metaphorical mappings. Results show strong religious undertones, life-centered framing, and a clear negation of death, with euphemism employed to console the bereaved.","","cbCaidCuV0NCwCJi","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidCuV0NCwCJi","pdf",115215,2,1,6,"English","en",105,"# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Background on EkeGusii and language community\n## Euphemism and cultural influences\n## Taboo topics and death as a euphemized concept","[{\"question\":\"What are the two main conceptual metaphors studied in the paper?\",\"answer\":\"The paper focuses on DEATH IS A JOURNEY and DEATH AS REST as conceptual metaphors governing how death and dying are talked about in EkeGusii euphemism.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the paper connect metaphor theory to EkeGusii euphemistic substitutes?\",\"answer\":\"EkeGusii euphemistic substitutes are analyzed using the Cognitive Theory of Metaphor, mapping journey/rest as source domains to death as the target domain.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the findings suggest about how EkeGusii frames death conceptually?\",\"answer\":\"The findings indicate that most euphemistic substitutes carry religious undertones, emphasize life over death, and express a negation of death, helping mitigate the effects of dying for listeners.\"}]",1782211839,15,{"code":4,"msg":31,"data":32},"ok",{"site_id":25,"language":24,"slug":33,"title":13,"keywords":15,"description":14,"schema_data":34,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":28},"nyakoe-dg-matu-pm-ongarora-do-2012-conceptualization-of-death-is-a-journey-and-death-as-rest-in-ekegusii-euphemism",{"@graph":35,"@context":84},[36,52,67],{"@type":37,"itemListElement":38},"BreadcrumbList",[39,43,46,49],{"item":40,"name":41,"@type":42,"position":21},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":44,"name":45,"@type":42,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":42,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":42,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/nyakoe-dg-matu-pm-ongarora-do-2012-conceptualization-of-death-is-a-journey-and-death-as-rest-in-ekegusii-euphemism/33532/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":24,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":40,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-02","2026-06-23",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"What are the two main conceptual metaphors studied in the paper?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"The paper focuses on DEATH IS A JOURNEY and DEATH AS REST as conceptual metaphors governing how death and dying are talked about in EkeGusii euphemism.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"How does the paper connect metaphor theory to EkeGusii euphemistic substitutes?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"EkeGusii euphemistic substitutes are analyzed using the Cognitive Theory of Metaphor, mapping journey/rest as source domains to death as the target domain.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"What do the findings suggest about how EkeGusii frames death conceptually?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"The findings indicate that most euphemistic substitutes carry religious undertones, emphasize life over death, and express a negation of death, helping mitigate the effects of dying for listeners.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":25}]
