According to conceptual metaphor theory, metaphor is understanding and
experiencing a concept through another concept. In other words, it is understanding one
field of experience (usually abstract) in terms of another (usually concrete). In this study,
metaphors of happiness and sadness in Evliya Çelebi’s Seyahatname were examined
within the scope of conceptual metaphor theory. The obtained metaphor examples
were classified and analyzed according to their types as structural, orientational and
ontological. As a result, it was observed that abstract domains such as emotions (target
domain) in languages are perceived and experienced through more concrete domains
(source domain). This universal approach of conceptual metaphor theory, which is a
modern theory, on languages was analyzed on a work written in the 17th century and
results supporting the theory were obtained.
