“…Applying mpa (Stefanowitsch, 2006), multi-word expressions containing the target domain key word and words from a given source domain were identified. This analysis was supported by mipvu adjusted to the Lithuanian language (Urbonaitė, Šeškauskienė and Cibulskienė, 2019): the basic sense of the source domain word was contrasted with the contextual sense, thus establishing which words surrounding the key word were used metaphorically. To table 1 The first three most frequently used and highest-ranking topic-related lemmas.…”

“…According to Stefanowitsch, a "metaphorical pattern is a multi-word expression from a given source domain (sd) into which one or more specific lexical items from a given target domain (td) have been inserted " (2006: 66). As a supplementary research tool, the adapted Lithuanian version of Metaphor Identification Procedure (mipvu) (Steen et al, 2010;Urbonaitė, Šeškauskienė and Cibulskienė, 2019) was employed to identify metaphors. However, it was not used to examine the whole text on a word-by-word basis as suggested by its developers.…”

Metaphor may express a positive or negative evaluation (Charteris-Black, 2014; Musolff, 2016). The paper aims to study how the predicative function of metaphor is manifested in the discourse of contemporary social concerns. The study was carried out within the framework of Critical Metaphor Analysis (cma), which was employed in order to determine how metaphors reflect attitudes towards higher education reform in Lithuania. The results show that the concept quality is understood as an object and evaluated through bipolar oppositions where the first element of the opposition is positively connoted while the second acquires a negative connotation. The evaluation of the concept reform is carried out through the source domains of movement, living being, object and conflict and is based on whether metaphors are used by the proponents of the reform or by the opposition.

The aim of the article is to review the development of applied linguistics in Lithuania, analyse the general tendencies of the development of this science, and present the more prominent groups of researchers in applied linguistics, the schools that have been formed or are being formed, and the contribution of some researchers to the research of different branches of applied linguistics. The article focuses on the work started after the restoration of independence of the Republic of Lithuania in 1990, because only from that time onwards did the work of Lithuanian applied linguistics enter the international mainstream of this science. It discusses some of the research and practical work related to the research that helps or has helped in certain periods to solve problems related to language in life. First of all, the article introduces the works on teaching Lithuanian as a foreign language, which are connected with the beginning of applied linguistics in Lithuania, and which have laid the appropriate methodological foundations for the formation of communicative competence, for the development of a new type of textbooks, pedagogical grammars of the Lithuanian language, and for the creation of a system of assessment of competences. After discussing the origins of applied linguistics in Lithuania, the paper discusses the further development of this science. Research in the field of language acquisition, sociolinguistics, language attrition, cognitive linguistics, pragmatics, politeness and impoliteness, corpus and forensic linguistics, and other branches of applied linguistics is presented, and the real-life linguistic issues, analysed by Lithuanian researchers, are highlighted. The final section of the article describes the most important works of dissemination of applied linguistics and presents the research journal Taikomoji kalbotyra (“Applied Linguistics”), the international conferences on applied linguistics that have taken place in Lithuania, and the networks of researchers.

“…To achieve the aim of the study, Charteris-Black's three-step metaphor analysis procedure (2005/2011) was employed: metaphors were identified, then they were interpreted and, finally, they were explained. The first step -metaphor identification -was performed using the Antconc programme (Anthony, 2019) and the keyword "metoo" was analysed in terms of its metaphoricity applying MIPVU (Steen et al, 2010;Urbonaitė et al, 2019). In the second step -metaphor interpretation -metaphors were interpreted by relating them to possible conceptual metaphors or metaphors in thought.…”

“…All in all, there were 281 and 516 concordance hits in the Lithuanian and English corpora, respectively. To analyse their metaphoricity, an adapted version of Metaphor Identification Procedure Vrije Universiteit (MIPVU) was employed in the English (Steen et al, 2010) and in the Lithuanian (Urbonaitė et al, 2019) corpora. The MIPVU entails a step-by-step protocol for identifying linguistic metaphors.…”

The article focuses on the metaphorical conceptualisation of the #MeToo movement, which has spread virally as a hashtag used on social media in an attempt to demonstrate the widespread prevalence of sexual assault and harassment. The #MeToo movement as a social issue is looked at from the perspective of Critical Metaphor Analysis (CMA) (Charteris-Black 2005/2011, 2014, Musolff 2004, 2016, Koller 2014, De Landtsheer 2009, Hart 2010). CMA is a blend of Cognitive Metaphor Theory and Critical Discourse Analysis that aims at identifying how metaphors are used to describe socially contested issues and how they reveal speakers’ hidden intentions and attitudes (Charteris-Black, 2014, p. 174). CMA is also concerned with the different functions metaphors may perform. A predicative function, being one of many, is most likely to explain how socially sensitive issues are communicated (Charteris-Black, 2014, pp. 204-207; Musolff, 2016, p. 4). In other words, it implies positive or negative attitudes expressed towards certain issues. Thus, the paper aims to study how the predicative function of metaphor manifests in the discourse of contemporary social concerns cross-linguistically and cross-culturally. In other words, the paper looks into how different attitudes towards the #MeToo movement are communicated via metaphors in Lithuanian and English media and how they shape prevailing public attitudes.
