This paper investigates and compares the conceptual metaphors of anger in English and Vietnamese short stories. Anger is one of the basic emotions of human beings, and it has similarities and differences among different languages. Analysis of features of conceptualization is a critical part of the semantics of emotions. This study aims to compare and contrast the use of metaphors of anger in two languages, English and Vietnamese. The study provides several significant findings. First, metaphor is common in conceptualizing and expressing emotions in English and Vietnamese short stories. Second, English and Vietnamese have several common cognitive metaphors for anger. Third, the differences between English and Vietnamese anger metaphors are related to cultural models.
