The present study examines singer Avril Lavigne`s cognitive system operation in the metaphorical construal of reality in her songs. For this purpose four songs from her debut album Let Go (2002) were selected. In order to accomplish the thesis objectives I drew upon a qualitative study of the metaphors from the perspective of Lakoff and Johnson's cognitive approach. This theory allowed me to detect and select the different linguistic elements through which metaphors are rendered to re-construct, at a linguistic level, the underlying conceptual schemes that motivate such lexical-semantic choices. This thesis reveals the conceptual metaphors underlying the metaphorical expressions in the songs as well as the correspondences between the cognitive categories in the target and source domains. The results of this project also suggest that metaphors can be created, not only by expressing one concept in terms of another one but also, by other means such as spelling variation.
