Abstract:
This paper is a corpus based study of the cultural meaning of figuration in the Malay lexicon. Initially, polysemy is examined for evidence of figurative conceptualisation at the single word level for two body part terms, mata ‘the eye’ and kaki ‘the foot /leg’. Compound forms are then examined to identify the extent to which similar conceptualisations are found. Finally, figurative phraseological units (simpulan bahasd) are examined for figurative conceptualisations. We consider the relationship between figurative meaning at the phraseological and lexical levels. The identification of figurat

Abstract:
This article addresses the issue of the emotional construction of Salman Rushdie’s memoir Joseph Anton in terms of the conceptualization and the linguistic representation of emotions. To this end the essay explores the relationships between feelings and their linguistic expression as well as examining how emotions are represented in the memoir on the figurative level. In particular, the article looks at how idiomatic expressions, as part of the emotion lexis deployed in Joseph Anton, contribute to the emotional representation of its principal characters. The article claims that the memoir has

Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to analyse figurative meanings of lexemes from a cognitive linguistic perspective. The analysis was conducted to compare figurative meanings of the lexeme “face” in English with their Croatian equivalents in order to support the claim that the meanings are motivated by conceptual metaphor, general conventional knowledge and metonymy across languages. The total of examples provides a basis for some generalizations to be made regarding similarities and differences between the realizations of abstract concepts which can be used in teaching lexis in English as a foreign la

Abstract: While descriptive and allegorical depictions of actual meteorological phenomena appear throughout medieval German literary genres and text types, the great bulk of weather vocabulary is comprised of phraseological and figurative units that make use of weather terms as a signifier of human, divine, and other qualities This article addresses a broad corpus of Middle High German texts to outline some of the uses of these units and the variety of their forms that typify this largely figurative domain of lexis and human experience.

This article researches the biased content of the propagandistic channel RT through the prism of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). It attempts to uncover the linguistic means of creating biased content in RT headlines that cover the Venezuela’s post-coup crisis of 2019-2020. It offers a CDA approach to the systemic bias in the headlines of 375 news stories featured on one of the most tendentious webcasters, the Russian state news provider RT. The current CDA focuses on presuppositions and implicatures, back- and fore-grounding, agency, lexis, punctuation, and briefly on other figurative lingu

Abstract:
The article reviews geometrical objects as a factor forming the image system of modern Russian language, and explores the lexical units motivated by the concept of geometrical objects and phraseological units with geometrical components. This approach reveals multiplicity of geometrical objects participating in the process: there are three-dimensional (sphere, spatial angle, etc.), two-dimensional (circle), one-dimensional (line, etc.) and geometrical objects without dimension (point). When considering the language material the author uses the concept of the inner form of the word. Numerous ex

In the modern world globalization processes affect the development of every sphere of Ukrainian society, including international politics, technical and military sector, education, science, sports, and of course economics. Due to various globalization processes, on one hand and nationalization processes on the other, Ukrainian vocabulary is actively extended with new words through various thematic groups as an open language system. The economic theme group of Ukrainian vocabulary has become especially rich over the last three decades. This fact of course constantly attracts

Abstract:
Painting of the early Contemporary Age reserves some attention to the mythical figure of Agamemnon and the characters closely involved in his story, mostly including him in figurative works that retrace the salient moments of the Homeric and especially tragic narrative, the latter with various modulations. The twentieth century, on the other hand, tends perhaps to isolate his figure, to make him a kind of monument to himself, with singular experiences in stage design. The result is a continuous redefinition that gradually dilutes the very recognizable identity of the characters in the drama, n
