Abstract
This study aims to discuss the types of conceptual metaphors and explain the image schemes contained in them. The data in this study were taken from the English novel by Hanan Al-Shaykh with the title The Story of Zahra. This novel is one of the novels that won an award as one of the 50 best novels based on Publisher Weekly. The data in this study are sentences that are oriented to conceptual metaphors. This novel shows and tells a lot about the journey of life, love stories, sadness, and deep trauma. There are 100 metaphorical data found in the novel. This research is a cognitive semantic analysis and uses descriptive qualitative methods, as well as by using the triangulation method. While the theory used is the conceptual metaphor of Lakoff and Johnson (2004) as the main theory and the image schema of the theory of Cruse and Croft (2004). The results in this study contained 40 data indicating structural metaphors, 6 data indicating orientational metaphors, and 54 data indicating ontological metaphors. Regarding the image schemes, there are 7 space schemes, 5 scale schemes, 6 container schemes, 21 force schemes, 6 unity/multiplicity schemes, 32 identity schemes, and 22 existence schemes.
