    Description

    This paper applies a manual procedure for conceptual metaphor analysis to data from the academic register. It tests this procedure by comparing it to a computational tool. The overall goal is to present corpus‐based metaphor analysis with new methodology appropriate for scrutinizing conceptual structures underlying natural linguistic data. Secondly, findings are discussed as being / not being representative of academic discourse.
