A cluster model of metaphor synergy is built on the basis of intertextual metaphor, which creates a powerful field of conceptual tension. It is shown that the economic metaphor acts as an instrument of sense production in the interdiscursive ...

... allows correlating Lotman’s approach with Bakhtin’s concept of a continuous, meaning-generating dialogue. The juxtaposition of these approaches opens up new possibilities for ex­panding the semiotic analysis of the processes of meaning formation, metaphorization, the dynamics of culture, and the correlation of social and personal experience in these dynamics. The prospects of expanding the scope of the apparatus of semiotics, such as the narrative ap­proach, deep semiotics, and analysis of the ...

The study investigates the concept of the “rhizome,” which in Tokarczuk’s work functions as a method of plot construction for her literary texts in general and the novel Primeval and Other Times in particular. The metaphor of the rhizome is expressed in the novel not only through the image of a giant fungal network, a mycelium, but also through a distinctive worldview based on the interconnectedness of all living things and all entities (human beings, living and ...

In turn, distinguishing metaphors in the genesis of key univocal terms of critical philosophy and phenomenology provides an opportunity ...

The article is devoted to the development of a fundamental semiotic model of images that is based on the categorical apparatus of Ch. S. Peirce (on the concepts of Firstness, icon, hypoicon and metaphor). The image is proposed to be defined as a complex sign (two-level hypoicon- metaphor), which has a certain “primary” sign as its sign vehicle that represents the object constituted by all the facts (cases of semiosis) that are similar to ...

This article addresses the issue of the specific features of the metaphor in “prophetic” dreams. The following features are identified as specific: the representation of the specific through the specific (abstract semantics is ensured by metonymy), spontaneity, integration into cultural contexts, elimination of ...

... basic techniques of conceptualization being de­scribed are nomination, predication (identifying the main definitional features of the concept, actualized in the utterance) and figurative-descriptive repre­sentations (such as ontological cognitive metaphors). The study has shown that the complex use of the above mentioned tools enriches the interpretation field of the existing concept and can serve as the basis for the emergence of a new one. The theoretical ideas are illustrated by examples from ...

The linguistic and pragmatic analysis of expressive means in political texts is gaining popularityamong researchers. The study of the role of meta­phor in enhancing the pragmatic effectiveness of political speech is relevant due to the fact that metaphor, being not only a way of expressing thought, but also being a thought itself, creates the necessary conditions for influencing the addressee's perception. This research is aimed at establishing linguistic and pragmatic means of achieving the ...

At the same time, the author reveals that the usual means of understanding and compre­hen­ding the city and oneself in the city are not enough. New metaphors and tools are needed to help us understand the city. Among them are porosity, rhythm, and imprints. The article int­ro­duces the basic metaphor of the city as a porous sponge. It also presents the phenomenon of the flaneur as a special figure ...

... derivation through the use of appellative and proper nouns as motivating bases. The replenishment of the repertoire of derivational models of -ing word formation in English is established, manifested in the emergence of compound derivatives based on metaphorical transfer. The suffix itself undergoes changes, evolving to­ward an affixoid that participates in the formation of compound nouns. The specific features of the functioning of English neologisms in the Internet space are identified, reflecting ...

The cognitive mechanisms underlying their formation are identified, based on the metonymic or metaphorical use of the image of fire, as represented in the root morpheme pal-. It is noted that the word-formation paradigm of the verb palit’ has expanded with the addition of derivatives with figurative meanings, including the adjectives palёny,...

Valery Pereleshin is one of the prominent figures in the Chinese segment of Russian émigré literature.

The study focuses on three poems where this image is central. Analysing the image of the bee in the context of literary tradition ...

... semantics and pragmatics of each color that shades time in Shakespeare’s texts are determined by metonymic correlation with the phenomena of the external and internal world. Thus, black color, identified with the darkness of night, becomes a methonymic-­metaphorical name for the unknown, danger, and suffering. Grey color, associated with the transition from darkness to light, correlates with the images of morning, youth, and hope, becoming an element of vivid authorial metaphors of personification. Red ...

... exists, while the external world is ultimately unreal. The image of the “Soviet Cosmos” in Pelevin’s novel combines at least two meanings — the near-Earth or near-lunar fragment of the universe and the Soviet world order — and also serves as a metaphor for the psychic world within which every person exists and which each individual generates. The protagonist of Omon Ra is portrayed less as a cosmonaut than as a psychonaut, discovering a psychic cos­mos with a simulacral nature. The world depicted ...

To achieve this goal, the following methods were employed: descriptive, component analysis, and cognitive-semantic analysis of linguistic units.

The use of new media elements — computer interfaces, data visualisation and emojis — in poetic and meta-poetic functions is explored alongside an examination of conceptual metaphors illustrating reflection on a subject's individual experience — reflection couched in digital reality terms, such as 'filter', 'format' and 'function'. As for the referential correlation between verbal and visual components, the role of emojis ...
