USE OF METAPHORS IN THE WORK OF SHAVKAT RAHMON

Abstract

Among the means of expression of language in world linguistics, linguistic phenomena are metaphors, and today there is a growing need to study them on the basis of anthropocentric approaches using modern methods of analysis, as they have a strong influence on communication and expression. As metaphor has become a tool in the linguistic landscape of the world, it raises the issue of studying its philosophical and theoretical foundations from a linguocognitive, linguoculturological, pragmatic, semantic, psycho-linguistic point of view.Metaphor (gr. Metaphora - transfer) is, first of all, the mechanism of speech, the use of a lexeme denotation to express another meaning on the basis of external, apparent similarity [1: 391].
