  bibo_abstract:
  - Due to their devastating consequences, so-called century floods attract significant
    public attention and are therefore covered in nationwide media. In journalistic
    reporting, numerous conceptual metaphors are used to conceptualise such extreme
    weather events. This linguistic study investigates how the century flood that
    occurred in southern Germany in late May and early June 2024 was metaphorically
    conceptualised in nationwide online journalism by identifying patterns of metaphorical
    conceptualisation. The analysis draws on the foundations of Conceptual Metaphor
    Theory as proposed by Lakoff and Johnson (1980), refined through the graded distinction
    of schematicity levels in conceptual structure proposed in Kövecses (2017, 2020,
    2022) Extended Conceptual Metaphor Theory. Accordingly, metaphors are understood
    as schematically distinguishable mappings of conceptual aspects from source to
    target areas, through which particular actions are constituted. Adopting a mixed-methods
    approach that integrates manual with (semi-)automatic analytical procedures, the
    study reveals that the century flood is predominantly conceptualised through the
    highly schematic metaphor ZEIT IST SUBSTANZ (›time is substance‹), the less schematic
    metaphor NATURKATASTROPHEN SIND PERSONEN (›natural disasters are persons‹), and
    a set of least schematic, elaborating metaphors, namely HOCHWASSER IST GEGNER
    (›flood is an opponent‹), HOCHWASSER IST ZERSTÖRER (›flood is a destroyer‹) and
    HOCHWASSER IST MÖRDER (›flood is a murderer‹). From an ecolinguistic perspective,
    the study critically reflects on how these metaphorical conceptualisations obscure
    human co-responsibility for the intensity of extreme flood events.@eng
