This article explores the linguistic representation of fiction in English fairy tales through the use of conceptual metaphors and framing devices. Drawing on theories from cognitive linguistics, particularly the work of Lakoff and Johnson, the study examines how metaphors shape the reader's understanding of abstract concepts, characters, and moral messages within fairy tales. It also investigates how framing techniques structure narrative perspectives, guiding interpretation and emotional responses. By analyzing a selection of well-known English fairy tales, the paper reveals how language is used not only to tell a story but also to construct fictional worlds that reflect cultural values, ideologies, and cognitive patterns. The findings suggest that metaphors and frames are powerful tools in storytelling, serving both aesthetic and didactic functions. This research contributes to the understanding of how linguistic devices influence meaning-making in fictional texts and offers practical implications for literature studies, translation, and language teaching.
