A cross-linguistic/cultural study of verbal metaphor compares responses to terrorism in the UK (N= 96) and to urban violence in Brazil (N= 11). Focus groups discussed how violence changes perceptions of risk, decisions of daily life, and attitudes to others. Metaphor vehicles were identified in transcribed data, then grouped together semantically; 15 vehicle groupings were used with similar frequencies, 16 groupings more in UK data, 14 more in Brazil data. Systematic and framing metaphors were found inside vehicle groupings. A small set of frequent verbal metaphors work as predicted by conceptual metaphor theory. Other verbal metaphor vehicles work much more specifically, as posited by discourse dynamics theory, metaphorizing contextually distinct aspects of living with violence. Major differences were found in responses to violence: UK participants demonstrate feelings of powerlessness and lack of agency through metaphor vehicles relating toGames of Chance, theConcealednature of terrorist activity, andBody Posturesnegatively evaluating response from the authorities; Brazilian participants use metaphor vehicles ofViolenceto emphasize how the threat of urban violence itself becomes a powerful social force that constrains daily activities.
