Abstracts
Two common sources of metaphor in politics are sport and war. Both politicians themselves, and those who report politics, use these metaphors. Metaphors from war are not just rhetorical devices for talking about politics, for they exemplify how people ordinarily conceive of politics. Because so much language which surrounds political issues is rooted in metaphors of war, then we have no idea that politics can be anything other than confrontational, that it could in fact involve agreement and consensus. The key metaphors of politics involve concepts of enemies and opponents, winners and losers; they do not suggest that government could be achieved through discussion, cooperation, working together.
