It is a simple reality that metaphorical language is
frequently used in discussions of sports and are challenging for students to
comprehend in the classroom. Thus, due to a lack of shared metaphorical
language between the students and teachers, which is a requirement for their
linguistic needs in the institution, MPSPC students may find it difficult to
understand the cultural discourse around sports in Mountain Province. Using Geeraert's [1] theory of lexical semantics
and the Metaphor Identification Procedure (MIP) of Pragglejaz’ Group [2] and
Steen, et al. [3], this qualitative-narrative study provides an understanding
of various themes generated from the metaphors and functions as well as their
literal and contextual meanings. This is also helpful for students to gain an
understanding of how the metaphors linguistically help them to facilitate
communication culturally. The objectives
of this study were realized through interviews with student-athletes, coaches,
or trainers from various educational institutions during the CARASUC MEET, MT.
PROVINCE PROVINCIAL MEET, and the CARAA MEET this 2023, followed by an
examination of their actual discourse for metaphorical content. Screenshots of
articles, Facebook text messages, and chat comments from Group Chats (GC) were
also gathered where metaphors were dominantly mentioned by the writers. Based
on these situations that served as the foundation for this study's conclusion,
the metaphorical expressions were evaluated, categorized, and semantically
studied with six (6) themes and 3 functions. It was discovered that rather than
the comments made under each article, articles posted on Facebook during and
after the events predominately employ metaphorical language that are used and
understood inside contexts. Therefore, this study adds to the body of knowledge
in the field of data as well as the applicable conceptual and theoretical
framework.
