Abstract

This article is intended to analyze the ontological metaphor expressions used in traditional marriage discourse of Manggarai speech community (TMDMSC). It is also intended to uncover the imagery of MSC that is expressed in the ontological metaphors. Thus, this article used Cultural Linguistic Perspectif (CLP) as the main theory and metaphor as the supporting theory. Those theories were combined by applying the qualitative research method. Based on the data analysis, there were 17 ontological metaphor expressions used in  TMDMSC. On the other hand, the ontological metaphor expressions almost include in paralelism expression. In line with this, the ontological metaphor has the literal and idiomatic meaning which depends on the imagery of MSC. Thus, based on the ontological metaphor expressions, it was also found the imagery that is appearing in TMDMSC such as; cultural, social, magical, ideological, mythical, and biological imagery. Those imageries that appeared in TMDMSC prove that (1) MSC believe that the God has power to control, protect, guidance, and curse the MSC’s life, (2) MSC believe that the ancestors have power to protect, guidance or even to curse the MSC’s life, and (3) MSC believe that ancestors are still alive like living human being.
