analyzed in this chapter. The 11 data will be classified based on the 8 concepts that are found from the mostly represent the data. The data will be analyzed by
using qualitative method with explaining the mapping process to convey the similarities in each concept that leads to understanding the meaning based on
the metaphorical expression. The theory of conceptual metaphor from Lakoff and Johnson will be applied in the analysis. This theory indicates the concepts
which obtained from the mapping process and the mapping process also leads
to the meaning
Identification of meaning in metaphorical language will use some dictionaries to be the references; they are Merriam-webster.com and
Oxforddictionaries.com. Those references are to find the literal meaning and compare with non-literal meaning from metaphorical language which
contained in the text speech.
B. Data Analysis
The analysis begins with conceptual metaphor categorization using capital letters which is the outcome of the classification from metaphorical expression
that consisted in metaphorical text. Then, analysis continues with the mapping from source and target domain of conceptual metaphor that leads to the
analysis of meaning of the metaphorical language.

process based on the metaphorical expression found in data card number
A. Datum 1, no 7 The time has now come for the nation ......., and so moving forward
with confidence to the future.
From the sentence above, the metaphorical expression such as come and moving
is found.

doing something. The word time in the paragraph above comprehended as person.
Here, Time is constructed as someone or person and conceptually can experience process in the same way that person do. From the explanation above, the writer
concluded time as target domain and person as source domain. Thus, the metaphor from Time is Person is coherent to this data. The conceptual metaphor
from Time is Person will be shown on the table below Table 3 Time is Person
Source: Person Target: Time
Person is moving Time is passing
Person as the agents The situation actions, events
Person is thing Time is thing

From the table above explained the relations between the source domain
person and the target domain Time. Person that moves from one place to another
is time that runs from present to the future that can effect changes. The mappings
is highlighted the human attributes in the source domain person which applied in the target domain Time. In this speech, Kevin Rudd felt sorry about what
