Sports and games as a domain in metaphorical mappings in English and Croatian

The subjects of my paper are sport and games as metaphors in English and Croatian language. The first part of the paper elaborates on the meaning of a metaphor, its definition, history, division and fields of meaning. Many theories have been developed about metaphors and many books have been written on that subject ; I tried to present them as concise and clear as possible. On the other hand, I have not found much theoretical explanation for the metaphors that derived from sport, but I have written one chapter about them in which I tried to shed some light on their origin and usage. The second part of the paper is a contrastive analysis of sports and games metaphors, which was made according to their metaphorical mappings.
