Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of cognitive and discourse features of metaphor in the logical type of argumentation of A. Lincoln's discourse. According to the well-known scientist A. N. Baranov, logical reasoning is aimed at reinterpreting the thesis within the framework of a given value. The cognitive feature of the metaphor in A. Lincoln's discourse is that it does not change the addressee’s existing value preferences, the American people, but, precisely, the equality of all people – ‘all men are created equal’, and their representation of freedom – ‘conceived in Liberty’. The discourse feature of the metaphor is that it is a language tool for A. Lincoln’s creation of the following speech strategies: expertise, encouragement, activation of various kinds of social obligations, and propaganda strategies.
