摘要：The paper studies the language of anger in common people’s passages on the internet site www.searchquotes.com/search/Anger. It investigates which anger metonymies and metaphors listed in Kövecses (1990,2000) are exemplified in the corpus and finds that they occur in a relatively small number. However,it identifies several metonymies and metaphors that have not been identified before and constitute non-prototypical scenarios of anger.
