Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the conceptual field “Anatomy and Physiology” of political metaphor in the Ukrainian language. Metaphorization is the dominant feature of political speech and a mean of expressing ideas and thoughts with effective implement of the author’s influence on audience. The conceptual fields of political metaphor are one of the main mental processes, which is a way of thinking and knowing reality. The conceptual field “Anatomy and Physiology” is one of the main fields of political metaphor. The studied conceptual field consists of lexical units that characterize the human body and its life cycle. The article describes in details all seven structured frames within this conceptual field, which are represented with the given examples, explanations and analyzation. It is observed than the given frames not only express ordering of features in a certain hierarchy, but also a system of interconnected cognitive structures. After detailed analyses of the conceptual field “Anatomy and Physiology” of political metaphor in the Ukrainian language, we came to the conclusion that certain series of frequently used metaphorical models are rapidly forming, reflecting changes in the linguistic picture of the world and demonstrating the emergence of new meanings of words.
Key words: political metaphor, journalistic discourse, conceptual field, frame, anatomy, physiology.
