This paper analyses the family metaphor in the political discourse of the Republic of Srpska and the Republic of Serbia. We divided metaphors into two groups. The first one is about family roles in the family metaphor (the brother, the mother, the sister) and the second one is about family relations such as love, protection, nourishment. As we can see in these examples:
That is a recognition to Serbia which is not hesitating to help her Republic of Srpska always and forever; Serbia is our mother; the Republic of Srpska is not able to tie up its little boat except to a big ship like Serbia; The first Vice President of the Government and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dačić said on Sunday that Serbia has an obligation to protect the Republic of Srpska.
Family relations are transferred into relations between the two countries. If we are aware that metaphors reveal some parts of relations and hide other perspectives of the contact, we know that metaphors that are mentioned above speak about love, nourishment, and equal relations between the Republic of Srpska and the Republic of Serbia and on the other hand, there are some parts of relations that stay hidden, such as conflicts, disagreements or confrontations. As Lakoff noticed (1996), these kinds of metaphors in foreign relations will hide interrelations in both countries, like ethnic and religious conflicts, even attitudes of individuals, because individual opinion is maybe different from the behaviour of the country. This paper is based on interdisciplinarity. We included a political analysis in this linguistic research and tried to answer questions such as why this metaphor is used, when it is used and which manipulation mechanism stands behind its usage. We concluded that this metaphor is based on positive thinking and relations and that it is most often in ceremonial occasions such as the National Day of both countries, which actually amplify its emotional strength.
