“…It is similarly quite possible that, in the student's assessment of the workings of this household, the term 'structural' or 'household violence' is introduced into the discourse between student and supervisor. Following Roodt's (2019) argument, such a description of what is at stake here, would be wholly unjustified; 'violence' is an inappropriate epithet to reveal what is happening here. On that, again, we can be agreed.…”

“…Expressions such as 'the violence of language, politics, marriage, culture, law' raise a quite an important critical issue that requires concerted attention in the literature about violence in general, and structural violence in particular. For my discussion of this critical issue, I mostly draw on an illuminating 2019 article by my colleague at Stellenbosch University, Vasti Roodt, with the appropriate title 'Violence as metaphor' (see Roodt 2019). She discusses the problem raised by the undeniable fact that, both in the literature and in social discourse generally, the concept of violence is increasingly looked upon as a term of "scandalization" (Winter as quoted by Roodt 2019:3).…”

“…The trouble that Roodt (2019) explores is that the metaphorical extension of the notion of violence too often gives rise to the idea that violence is per definition wrong, without stipulating the sense in which it is wrong, i.e., how it wields a wrongness that can clearly be distinguished from other forms of wrongness. Otherwise, it becomes a matter of looking upon whatever is named to be 'violent' as wrong by definition, i.e., wrong simply because it is called violence.…”

The present study is an attempt to explore the ways of an Iraqi Arabic speaker conceptualises his/her understanding of various abstract domains of emotions or feeling and attitudes through his/her experiences of concrete domains of Cold and Hot metaphors. Lakoff & Johnson’s (1980) Conceptual Metaphor Theory is adopted to analyse the collected data. Idiomatic expressions and proverbs are chosen specifically from the southern dialect where they are widely used in daily interaction. The data analysis classified the results according to their abstract and concrete domains of the sampled data. The findings of this study showed different conceptualisations of the Hot and Cold metaphor in Iraqi Arabic. The study concluded that these metaphors are used to conceive more of the abstract concepts of emotions, feelings, and attitudes. Cold domain is used to conceptualise the bad habits of people, and it is also used to conceptualise some good habits, on the other hand. Whereas Hot domain is used to conceptualise the more intensive of emotions and attitudes. The study concluded that the sharp emotions, feelings and attitudes that are understood from the conceptualisation of Hot and Cold conceptual metaphors, are experienced from the more concrete domains of hard things.
