Popis In the talk, I discuss the role of metaphor in cultural conceptualisations of death by analyzing Chinese eulogistic expressions delivered at funerals. 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 how they actually verbalize death in a real socio-cultural setting.
