摘要：This paper studies how several conceptual metaphors (e.g. MORALITY IS LIGHT, MORALITY IS CLEANLINESS, MORAL FREEDOM IS PHYSICAL FREEDOM, DOING IMMORAL DEEDS IS ACCUMULATING DEBT) are able to account for the basic meaning and interpretation of punishments and moral issues in more than twenty popular tales, thus allowing us to explain some of the uncanny elements of tales. The stories, representative of various cultures, have been extracted from the Project Gutenberg online library and belong to the British compiler Andrew Lang (1844-1912). We also suggest that these metaphors, because of their strong experiential grounding, may have contributed to an easier transmission of many fairy tales, and also to make tales alike in different socio-cultural settings.
