REPRESENTATION OF A NOMINATIVE METAPHOR IN A LITERARY TEXT

Abstract

The article deals with features of the use of nominative metaphor in the work of Stephen King “Misery”. The individual author’s style of the writer is described. The essence of the concept of “nominative metaphor” is considered. The most frequently realized functions of the metaphor in the work of Stephen King are nominative, informative, emotional-evaluative and text-forming functions. The emphasis is on nominative metaphors. The role of nominative metaphors is to transfer the name from one object to another based on their similarity. By replacing one descriptive concept with another, an artistic metaphor is created that is responsible for creating the image of a particular object. A new nomination in a work of fiction enhances the expressiveness of the image and creates an emotional background that makes an impression on the reader. Thus, the recipient is given a figurative picture of the writer’s world.
