Abstract Generally speaking, speakers can deliver their political views and standpoints in order to talk the public into accepting and supporting their views by making political speeches. Politics is very abstract and complicated, so speakers often use conceptual metaphors in their discourses to make their views accessible and understandable to the audience. Conceptual metaphor is first brought up by Lakoff and Johnson in their book Metaphors We Live By, and it can be classified into structural metaphor, ontological metaphor and orientation metaphor. On the basis of conceptual metaphor theory, the thesis is to study conceptual metaphor in political speeches by analyzing Obama’s second inaugural address. The study shows that structural metaphor, ontological metaphor and orientation metaphor are all adopted in Obama’s second inaugural address to persuade the audience, simplify the abstract political language, frame good political image and make the speech coherent. The author hopes that this study can make contributions to helping people have a better comprehension of conceptual metaphor in political speeches and politicians to use conceptual metaphors in the addresses to achieve their own purposes.
