Përmbledhja	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.	Metaphor Analysis is a qualitative method that identifies, classifies, and interprets the metaphors embedded in language to reveal how speakers and writers conceptualise experience, construct meaning, and exercise ideological influence. Grounded in Lakoff and Johnson's Conceptual Metaphor Theory, it treats metaphor not as a literary decoration but as a fundamental cognitive structure — ARGUMENT IS WAR, TIME IS MONEY — that shapes how people think, reason, and act. It is widely applied in psychology, education, political discourse, health communication, and organisational research.
