Food Metaphors in the Bulgarian Language

Dimka Vasileva Savova

Abstract


The article aims at analysing the lexical field of food as a source of metaphorical transfer. The lexemes with possible metaphorical usage are classified according to one main criterion: the motivational feature of the metaphorization. In the case of two subgroups, the latter is supplemented by two auxiliary criteria. The article draws conclusions about the associative thinking of native Bulgarian speakers with respect to their life experience in the field under consideration.


Keywords


conceptual metaphor, lexical metaphor, motivational feature, primary and secondary nominate
