Anthropomorphism – the attribution of human traits, emotions and intentions to non-human entities – is a powerful linguistic and cognitive tool that shapes the way we communicate and understand the world. This paper explores how anthropomorphic expressions influence linguistic structures, enrich cultural narratives and enhance cognitive accessibility. Through a comparative linguistic analysis, this study examines how different languages utilize anthropomorphism to foster emotional engagement and conceptual clarity. The findings reveal that anthropomorphism is a universal linguistic phenomenon that makes language more vivid, relatable and impactful.
