Conceptual metaphor, as Lakoff and Johnson (1980) put it, is a product of the human conceptual system. At the same time, metaphors are also a part of our cognitive structure and in this respect, they reveal conceptual relationships that are deeply embedded in the mind. At this point, metaphors are closely related to cognitive processes that are directly related to the mind's ability to construct, represent, and reason about the world. In this respect, Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez and Masegosa (2014) discuss cognitive operations in two categories: formal and content operations. These operations are effective in the formation of both metaphors and similes. This study aims to investigate which of the formal and content operations are frequently involved in wedding-related metaphors in Turkish. In this respect, we used the Metaphor Identification Procedure developed by Steen et al. (2010) to evaluate the data we obtained by querying the word düğün through the Turkish National Corpus. In the data we obtained from the study, we found that clue, selection, and integration operations were frequently involved in formal operations, while comparison and modification operations were involved in content operations. We also concluded that these cognitive operations may have a function in the formation and identification of metaphors. However, it is also possible to see cultural reflections in the structures related to weddings. This situation shows that metaphors play a role in the conceptualization of both our cognitive structure and our cultural structure.
