Digital Metaphor Analysis
Digital Metaphor Analysis (DMA) is a qualitative research approach that identifies, maps, and interprets conceptual metaphors embedded in digital texts — social media posts, online forums, blogs, comment sections, and other internet-mediated communication. Drawing on Conceptual Metaphor Theory (Lakoff and Johnson 1980), it examines how users frame abstract ideas (identity, politics, health, crisis) through systematic metaphorical mappings, revealing shared conceptual structures and ideological orientations within online discourse communities.
