Tóm tắt	Interpretive metaphor analysis is a qualitative method that systematically identifies and interprets the conceptual metaphors embedded in participants' language to understand how they make meaning of their experiences. Rooted in Lakoff and Johnson's conceptual metaphor theory and adapted for empirical social research by Rudolf Schmitt, it applies a hermeneutic lens to treat metaphors not as stylistic ornaments but as windows into underlying cognitive and cultural frames.	Interpretive content analysis is a systematic qualitative approach for analyzing the latent meanings and interpretive frameworks embedded in textual, visual, or documentary data. Unlike frequency-based content analysis, it foregrounds the researcher's interpretive engagement with texts to uncover how meaning is constructed, contested, or reproduced. Philipp Mayring's qualitative content analysis and broader interpretive traditions provide the methodological backbone for this approach.
