Cognitive metaphor theory has significantly transformed the understanding of metaphor from a rhetorical ornament into a fundamental mechanism of human cognition. Since the publication of “Metaphors we live by” by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, metaphor has been examined as a conceptual structure that shapes thought, perception, and social interaction. Political discourse, which is inherently concerned with power, ideology, and persuasion, relies heavily on metaphorical framing to construct political reality. This article explores the theoretical background of cognitive metaphor in political discourse by examining its philosophical foundations, cognitive mechanisms, and ideological implications. Using qualitative discourse analysis, the study identifies dominant conceptual metaphors structuring political communication and explains their role in shaping political cognition. The findings confirm that metaphors such as POLITICS IS WAR, STATE IS FAMILY and NATION IS A BODY function as cognitive models that influence reasoning and legitimize political authority.
