THIS PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS AND THEIR COGNITIVE REPRESENTATION IN ENGLISH LITERARY TEXTS

Аннотация

This article investigates the cognitive and semantic mechanisms underlying the use of phraseological units in English literary discourse. Particular attention is paid to the interaction between figurative language and conceptual thinking, revealing how fixed expressions operate as cognitive models that structure human perception and interpretation of reality. The study examines the transformation of phraseological meanings within literary contexts and identifies the ways authors manipulate conventional idioms to produce additional stylistic and pragmatic effects.
