Keywords:
classical theory of metaphor, Aristotle, meaning transfer, stylistic device, cognitive linguistics, analogy, metaphor development, metaphor criticismAbstract
The article examines the classical theory of metaphor proposed by Aristotle, which interprets metaphor as the transfer of meaning based on similarity. The main tenets of the theory, its historical development, and criticisms are discussed. The limitations of the classical approach, which does not consider the cognitive role of metaphor, are highlighted. Nevertheless, its significance for the development of linguistic research is noted.
