摘要	Longitudinal Metaphor Analysis (LMA) is a qualitative method that tracks how individuals or groups use metaphors across multiple time points to reveal conceptual, attitudinal, or identity shifts. Grounded in conceptual metaphor theory and discourse dynamics, it treats metaphor not as mere rhetorical decoration but as a window into evolving thought, belief, and meaning-making over time.	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.
