Abstract

This article examines how the concept of “woman” is cognitively constructed in Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre and how this conceptualization transforms across translations. Using a cognitive linguistic approach, the study explores metaphoric structures, narrative frames, and lexical choices that shape Brontë’s portrayal of female identity, focusing on attributes such as emotional depth, intellectual independence, and moral strength
