This paper attempts to demonstrate the hypothetical 'Mental Distance' concept, which will help analyze the chronological changes of linguistic metaphorical expressions within a single business speech. Many researchers have studied the roles of conceptual metaphor and its linguistic metaphorical expressions in critical metaphor analysis. Nonetheless, little research has been conducted, which attempts to focus on the chronological changes and transitions of metaphorical expressions within a single speech, in order to explain how a speaker tries to control and maintain the mental distance between him/herself and the audience, utilizing those metaphorical expressions. In this paper, the hypothetical mental distance concept is developed, and demonstrated in two speeches which are analyzed on the same platform. In conclusion, this paper states that focusing on the chronological changes of metaphorical expressions within a single speech delivers important insights into correlations between the mental distice flows found in different conceptual metaphor domains.
