Abstract

This article analyzes the linguistic and cognitive essence of metaphor and how it expands the semantic and imaginative potential of language. Metaphor is interpreted not only as a literary stylistic device but also as a fundamental conceptual model of human cognition. Based on the theory of conceptual metaphor, examples are provided to explain how humans understand abstract concepts through concrete experience. The study also explores the linguistic, literary, cognitive, and cultural forms of metaphor and their role in linguistics. Furthermore, the influence of metaphor not only on language structure but also on worldview and perception is examined. The article provides a thorough analysis of metaphor at the intersection of linguistics, cognitive science, and cultural studies, substantiating its significance in modern linguistics.
