Abstract
Based on the medieval Vietnamese literary works from the beginning of the 10th century to the end of the 19th century, the article has examined 494 linguistic expressions about male images, of which 328 expressions belong to the metaphor and 166 expressions belong to the metonymy. Based on that, we obtain the following results: (1) Set up seven source domains and three target domains; (2) determine the conditions for selecting things in the source domain; (3) explain the factors affecting the selection of the source domain; (4) interpreting the network of metaphorical structures; (5) analyze the author's cognitive characteristics expressed in these metaphors. The article reveals the cognitive characteristics of the medieval Vietnamese literary writers in building linguistic expressions about the male, contributing essential documents on the relationship between languages - native culture.
