Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to investigate and compare the metaphorical concepts of fear in the daily speech of sighted and blind adults in the linguocultural geography of Ilam. To this end, research data was gathered from 50 bilingual informants of this area in two subject groups including 25 congenital blind aged 18-70 years, as the experimental group, and 25 individuals as their matched control group. To show how fear is metaphorically expressed in the speech of these two groups of people, in addition to the mappings, the most frequent source domains were also identified and introduced. Data analysis was done using descriptive and inferential statistics methods in SPSS software. The results of the conceptual metaphors of emotions showed that, regarding the frequency of metaphors, there were no meaningful differences between the performance of the blind and the sighted adults. However, the frequency of the utilized sensory sources for the source domains of fear was different in the speech of the two groups, where the blind used the senses of taste and touch significantly more than the sighted people to express love (P<0.05). The comparison of the gathered data with the Kovecses source domains model (2002) showed that there was no perfect compatibility between the two groups with respect to the utilization of source domains for fear.
