Introduction
The theme of the present paper is “Specific features of grammatical metaphor in the English language”
As you know metaphor is a very important feature in human language. There is no exaggeration when we say that language itself is a metaphor
The Macmillan Dictionary has realized this important feature and dedicated two full pages to this important issue by Dr Rosamund Moon: e.g.: He is hurt. He gave me a cold look. Hurt and cold here as you know are metaphors because they are based on comparison or analogy with injury and temperature.
Human language is analogous and not digital as we discussed earlier. Analogue means like or the same as. This is part of human perception. We reflect or mirror what we see or perceive. Metaphor, as you know, is a figure of speech in which a name or a descriptive word or phrase is transferred to an object or action different from, but analogous to, its original referent.
