Keywords:
metaphor, fairy tale, cognitive linguistics, folklore, linguomethodics, cross-cultural analysis.Abstract
This paper explores the peculiarities of metaphorical thinking in two major folklore genres—magical and everyday fairy tales—of three languages: English, Russian, and Uzbek. The study applies a cognitive-linguistic and linguomethodical approach to identify both universal and culture-specific features of metaphorization. It argues that metaphors in magical tales tend to be mythopoetic and symbolic, while in everyday tales they are more social, moral, and evaluative in nature.
