Abstract

ABSTRACT

 

The various aspects of metaphor and its application are on the agenda of this debate. This article has resources to dozens of European and American metaphor studies and presents the results of their analytical overview. As a result, this analysis depicts a range of topical issues. One of them is the development of a theory of metaphor that will integrate various approaches (linguistic, cognitive, communicative, and pragmatic) to the study of the metaphor, reproducing the change of a cognitive-linguistic approach to the figurative language analysis. Several theories about the cognitive aspect of matter have been introduced.
