Abstract

This study aims to describe the structural metaphors employed by second-hand fashion product shop hosts on live commerce. The qualitative research was carried out by collecting data through the free-participation listening technique on live commerce activities, then continuing with semi-structured interviews with live commerce shop hosts. Live commerce used as a place to collect data was Shopee Live. The collected data was checked for data validity through language expert validation. The present study employed data analysis techniques from the cognitive semantics perspective. The findings indicated that cross-medium communication during the procurement and disposition of secondhand fashion products in live commerce fosters a distinct personification tendency in the conceptualization of "FASHION PRODUCT IS HUMAN." This conceptualization enables sellers of second-hand fashion products to employ human attributes, including body parts, physical condition, and socioeconomic status, as metaphors to portray the state of the product or to create a favorable impression. This study provides novel insights for individuals or entities engaged in the sale of second-hand fashion products through live streaming. It demonstrates that the utilization of metaphors is not only crucial for articulating product condition, but also for fostering character development, nurturing relationships, and sustaining the engagement of online shoppers.
