Another analysis about metaphor wrote by Aizul Maula, a student of English Letters in State Islamic University Jakarta, the research is a
comparative analytical study about the translations of metaphors in the Holy Qur‟an, using the concept from James Dickin that divide the types of
metaphor and the techniques of translations to find how metaphors in the Holy Qur‟an are translated into English by the four translators. The analysis resulted
that the five techniques from four English translators of the Holy Qur‟an are accurate in one verse, but inaccurate in the other verse because of their variety
of background. The beautiful form of metaphor sometimes lost when it is translated into sense only. It is not always guaranteed that one technique
would be the best for translating metaphor without any classification.

The last analysis wrote by Bintarti Mayang Sari, with the title Metafora Dalam Pidato Charles De Gaulle Pada Perang Dunia II.
The analysis focused on metaphor categorization and its meaning from an
independence speech delivered by a French politician named De Gaulle, using Lakoff and Johnson conceptual metaphor theory to show how a politics
speech can be easier to understand by the listener and also can be easier to deliver by De Gaulle to share his concepts and point of view toward the actual
situation in France. In this analysis, there are several concepts of metaphor used by De Gaulle to made French societ
y easier to access De Gaulle‟s message. Metaphor in his speech showed the concept of his state of mind as a
leader of French, toward the complicated actual situation in World War II to achieve real independence.
