Abstract

This article explores the terminology used in pilgrimage tourism from a cognitive linguistic perspective, with a focus on how conceptual metaphors, frames, and mental imagery shape the understanding of sacred travel. Drawing on the principles of Frame Semantics and Conceptual Metaphor Theory, this study analyzes key terms found in English-language travel guides to religious sites. The study also explores the interplay of physical, spiritual, and emotional dimensions of pilgrimage. Through this, we aim to provide an understanding of how language influences pilgrims' perceptions and enhances their sacred experiences.
