Annotation: Although there is a lot of research on metaphor in linguistics, there is a growing interest in it. Because in order to use words in the language, it is necessary to know not only the meaning of words, but also their figurative meanings. This, in turn, means that in linguistics there is a need for a comprehensive study of metaphor. Indeed, linguists associate the study of metaphor with the manifestation of metaphor in linguistics and its importance in language.

Keywords: metaphor theory, metonymy, similarity, linguistic units, figurative meaning, methodological coloring of words.
