Konceptualne metafore žena je biljka i muškarac je životinja u poemi Na pravi put sam ti, majko, izišo Skendera Kulenovića
CONCEPTUAL METAPHORS WOMAN IS A PLANT AND MAN IS AN ANIMAL IN SKENDER KULENOVIĆ’S POEM “NA PRAVI PUT SAM TI, MAJKO, IZIŠO”

Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the use of conceptual metaphorization in the poetic discourse of Skender Kulenović, primarily from a cognitive linguistic perspective but also from a literary interpretive one. Kulenović uses metaphorical linguistic expressions to depersonalize the feminine andmasculine gender by representing men and women as flora and fauna. The metaphorical linguistic expressions, being exceptionally innovative and riddled with meaning, successfully evoke the character and social status of the patriarchal man in relation to the patriarchal woman of Bosnian society in the first half of the 20th century. Therefore, Kulenović’s recognizable vitalistic and pantheistic perception of everything in existence is not absent even in his socially engaged poetry
