Abstract EN
This research is concerned with the study of the concepts of morality and immorality as they are understood and realized as being straight and crooked respectively.
The data are selected from the Prophetic Hadith in Arabic and the Bible in English.
The model adopted in the analysis is an eclectic one that represents the conceptual metaphor theory which is established by Lakoff and Johnson (1980) and developed by subsequent scholars as it is shown in the theoretical background.
The analysis of the data shows that Arabic and English realize the concepts of morality and immorality in terms of straightness and crookedness but Arabic has various linguistic metaphors that represent the concept of morality as being straight compared with English which has only one linguistic metaphor to represent this concept in the selected data.
On the contrary, English has various linguistic metaphors to realize the concept of immorality compared with Arabic which has only one linguistic metaphor to realize this concept.
The research is adopted from the first researcher's Ph.
