MIXED METAPHOR, ITS DEFINITION AND EXAMPLES IN THE MATERIALS OF ENGLISH LITERATURE.
Main Article Content
Аннотация:
The article investigates mixed metaphor and its effect to the user’s writing. The article is an attempt to identify the definition of the mixed metaphor in English materials. It is a highly timely contribution that fills a gap between the pre-theoretical notion of ‘mixed metaphors’, largely known to the (English-speaking) public as something to be avoided as it reflects poor style or even sloppy thinking, and scholarly research on metaphor, where the topic has received little attention: “people’s cognitive flexibility to think of abstract concepts in a myriad of metaphorical ways”
