Language of perception is common to all humans within a similar cultural background. Its conceptualization, from a semantic standpoint, is however language specific. With this view in mind, this study aims at investigating, from a cognitive linguistic perspective and from a Descriptive Translation standpoint, the transfer in meaning of conceptual properties assigned to the visual metaphor of ‘light’, in a small scale, English (source language) - Romanian (target language) investigation, seeking to provide a better understanding regarding the nuances implied in the crosslinguistic equivalence of such metaphors, its secondary aim being that of validating these preliminary results through a cross linguistic investigation of similar matters on larger corpora.
