aLiterally: ‘my rose’s’

The way of the wind follows the ‘communicative channels’ of the members of the local community, giving over the news along the roads of the village as if it were like the dust of the road, depicting the way gossip spreads. Note that villages were conceptualized as having an ‘upper’ end and a ‘lower’ end, therefore here the direction of the wind is horizontal, not vertical. The orientations represent people on the basis of place for person metonymy. Hence, the conceptualization is gossip as wind, which emphasizes that wind is independent of human will and the conceptualizer is helpless to it. The basic metaphorical mappings (and also metonymies) of folksong (13) are the following: gossip

content of gossip

people who hear the gossip

members of the community

lover

wind

dust/fine particles

spatial orientations

world

lover’s house
