This article examines figurative representation in English through the lens of cognitive linguistics, with a particular emphasis on the role of metaphor and metonymy as key mechanisms for conceptualizing and categorizing reality. The relevance of this research stems from the growing interest in studying the semantic processes underlying linguistic thinking, as well as the widespread adoption of corpus-based technologies that enable the empirical analysis of linguistic data. The paper provides a theoretical analysis of metaphor and metonymy, examining their functions in the formation of figurative meaning, as well as their interaction within discourse.
