THE ROLE OF METAPHOR AND COMPARISON IN THE VERBALIZATION OF THE CONCEPT OF "EMIGRANT" (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF V. NABOKOV'S PROSE)

Abstract

Based on the material of V. Nabokov's fiction, a linguistic analysis of the functional role of metaphor and comparison in the verbalization of the concept of "emigrant" is carried out. Despite their proximity, the ways of implementing these tropes in the texts of the novels are carried out in different ways. It is concluded that the presence of metaphorical formations and comparisons makes it possible to convey with greater efficiency and emotional and expressive authenticity the writer's intention and his subjective positive or negative attitude to the depicted.
