摘要:AbstractThis paper aims to examine the metaphors of amok in the corpora of traditional Malay texts. The study utilizes the corpus data from the Malay Concordance Project (MCP). The selected works are Sejarah Melayu (Sulalat Al-Salatin), Hikayat Hang Tuah and Tuhfat Al-Nafis. Within this study, the metaphoric element of AMOK was analyzed using the Hybrid Theory by Tendahl (2009)which was later revised by Stöver (2010). The theory that hybridizes the pragmatic and cognitive linguistics approaches is supported by the Triple Processing model to produce a conceptual region that describes a lexical concept or meaning for words or phrases which are figurative or implicit in nature.
