Abstract

The Political Concept Based Metaphors in Phan Waen Fah Literary Award-Winning Poetry is qualitative research exploring a total of 21 texts from literary work winning Phan Waen Fah Award, in particular poetry, from 2003 to 2022 (B.E. 2546 to B.E. 2565). It aims to study metaphorical words from the texts and political concepts reflected in those words. The study was based on the Cognitive Semantics Theory of Lakoff and Johnson (1980). The results indicated that 5 political metaphors were found. They can be ordered in accordance with the highest and lowest frequency, namely [Politics is nature.], [Politics is objects], [Politics is places], [Politics is human beings] and [Politics is traveling]. The results also showed that metaphorization and political situations in the past corresponded with each other, thus enabling us to understand political conditions in each period following authorship perspectives. In terms of the discussion in this research, competition criteria affected the winning entries, so the work and metaphors presented political aspects that serve the requirements set by the awarding committee and parliament of Thailand.
