Metaphor is, first of all, a mental and cognitive process, as it can be observed in the work of our thought and imagination. This cognitive strategy is expressed in language. However, writers and poets can create some special metaphors to increase the beauty of their language, influence the reader or make their communication more impressive. Therefore, technically speaking, there is nothing wrong in analyzing those special metaphors as figures of speech in poetry and elevated diction. Criticizing the traditional or rhetorical understanding of metaphor, cognitive linguists want to point out that until the late 1970s the rhetorical study of metaphors in elevated forms of language has been practically the only focus of scholarly attention in regard to this important mental mechanism of our cognition.polCC-BY-SA - Uznanie autorstwa - Na tych samych warunkachmetaforametonimiametafora w Bibliimetonimia w BibliiBibliaPismo Święteanaliza filologicznafilologiafilologia biblijnaanaliza językowabiblistykaStary TestamentświatłoBógśnieggrzechlewrógskałaBaszankrowametaphormetonymymetaphor in the Biblemetonymy in the BibleBiblephilological analysisphilologybiblical philologylinguistic analysisbiblical studiesOld TestamentlightGodsnowsinlionhornrockBashancowArticle
