Keyword: «typology of metaphors»

Metaphor is a unique means of cognition of deep, invisible processes occurring in the human mind while comprehending and interpreting the surrounding reality. The cognition of the world occurs in the process of comparing new realities with already known objects or phenomena; the result of such comparisons is usually called the language picture of the world. This work is based on the study of metaphors in the artistic picture of the world of L.N. Tolstoy.
