Popis The paper discusses the role of metaphor in cultural conceptualisations of death by investigating metaphor in Chinese eulogistic expressions in an official online eulogy-requesting system in Taiwan. Death is the central issue that all cultures have to deal with, with metaphor being an essential part in helping people conceptualize it. In this connection, eulogies delivered at funerals, as language used by the living to talk about the deceased, provides an empirical basis for investigating cultural conceptualizations of death by examining the verbalization of death in real socio-cultural settings.
