Abstract
This M.A. thesis explores the differences and similarities between a selected group of English and Croatian lexemes for taste. More precisely, it analyses the usages of the following four basic taste adjectives: bitter/gorak, salty/slan, sweet/sladak, sour/kiseo. The theoretical part of the thesis primarily deals with the most recent cognitive linguistic and cognitive semantic findings. The second part of the thesis, i.e. the comparative-contrastive analysis was based on two web corpora, the Corpus of Global Web-Based English (GloWbE) and the Croatian Web Corpus (hrWaC). The aim of the analysis was to separate the literal uses of lexemes from their metaphorical uses. The examples found in the corpus were then categorized according to their common features and further analyzed. The findings reveal interesting differences at the lexical, syntactic and semantic levels between English and Croatian metaphorical usage of the four basic lexemes for taste. However, the results of the analysis also indicate a high degree of similarity between the languages in question in the overall usage of taste adjectives.
