Abstract

Metaphor is a linguistic device that is a significant part of human life. Metaphor offers a variety of choices to express ideas with a variety of intent. Metaphors often appear mainly in daily life, such as in conversations, films, poetry, even in newspapers that have a standard feature in terms of language use. In this digital era, a newspaper is now expanding into highly accessible online newspapers. This research analyzes metaphor, i.e., the ontological metaphor, as the focus of this study. This research analyzes the ontological metaphor based on its types on the entertainment news in The Jakarta Post online newspaper. This research aims to find the types of ontological metaphor and their application on the entertainment news in The Jakarta Post online newspaper.
