Abstract

The present article considers the approaches of contemporary scientists to metaphor research from the philosophic-cognitive point of view. In contrast to the traditional definition of this trope, the latest metaphor theories by the outstanding philosophers, their distinctive features and significance for science are described and analyzed in this article. Each approach is accompanied with unique examples of the stylistic device in question taken from the works of modern English literature. Each approach reveals a new facet and unique features of this language phenomenon. It should be noted that the theories of outstanding philosophers of the 20th century described above have a solid evidence base, and, therefore, full right to exist. Each of them, in its own way, reveals the essence of metaphor and in its context explains its signs and properties. However, these theories should not be mutually exclusive, but rather complement each other. To limit oneself to only one method of studying a metaphor is the same as looking at the world through a small window and seeing only a small part of it, only a small segment of the horizon, in this case very much can remain beyond the limits of our vision.
