dc.description.abstractThe study of metaphors used in women college presidents' inaugural addresses at coed institutions is a qualitative content analysis utilizing a critical inductive emergent process. Due to variations among literary fields of study, an interdisciplinary approach to metaphor analysis that bridges expectations of different fields related to metaphor use has been developed. Twenty inaugural addresses of women college and university presidents at coed institutions, delivered in the last 17 years were analyzed. Conceptual metaphors that map outside the contextual domain were identified and entered into a spreadsheet. Theme identification emerged through use of a conceptual map relative to qualitatively determined speaker intent based on contextual frameworks. Findings included the identification of 46 contextual themes that when plotted on a Venn diagram led to the emergence of 10 broad metaphorical themes. The 10 broad metaphorical themes are characterized by three principal themes--Limits, Resources, and Perseverance, four central themes--Vision, Strength, Growth, and Creativity and three supporting themes--Power, Competition, and Nature.
