THE APPEARANCE OF NEW LANGUAGE UNITS IN THE LEXICO-SEMANTIC SYSTEM THROUGH METAPHOR

Abstract

In the article, metaphorization is considered as a factor enriching the vocabulary of the language
with words and terms. It has been established that metaphorization plays an important role in the lexico-semantic system of the language as a historical-semantic process and a means of enriching the
figurative block of the language. Based on the facts, it is determined that the metaphor itself is a comparison. A metaphor is a comparison in which the human mind combines abstract concepts into one
word or expression in order to associate them with a specific object. These correspondences are usually based on very obscure and in some cases completely illogical analogies; but they show exactly
what attracts the attention of a person from the outside world, and bring to life through images what
knowledge and reason do not perceive in the abstract.
