Different approaches to conceptual metaphor

Abstract

The article is devoted to the identification and analysis of conceptual metaphors that are
currently especially often used in cognitive research and the description of the phenomenon as a
cognitive power. Metaphor, as a linguistic phenomenon, has attracted the attention of linguists,
logicians, philosophers for centuries. However, recently interest in metaphor has increased and
acquired a total character, which is associated with a revision of views on the activity of human
thinking and the problem verbalization of the results of scientific and everyday knowledge. Today,
there are many areas of study of this phenomenon. The article examines metaphor as a phenomenon
of interaction between language, thinking and culture.
