Theoretical Bases Of Teaching Metaphor Module In The Educational Process

Abstract

Lexicon serves as a basic unit of language to name the elements of the world around us. A lexeme not only performs the function of naming, but also conveys our knowledge of the world to future generations (cumulative task), comprehension (perspective), and influence (listener) on the listener. This shows how multifaceted the lexeme is.

          The role of analogy in human knowledge of the universe is invaluable. The newly observed object and event are always compared to the previously acquired object and event, and the similarity between them causes the previous name to be used for the new object and event as well. The use of a previously existing noun in a language for a new meaning based on a certain similarity not only serves the function of a simple nomination, but also serves the function of expressing the listener and expanding the possibilities of expression of the language. Such a move is a metaphor.
