Annotation: The paper conducts a study of the image-bearing component of the concept 'suffer,' using examples from the English language. Although "Suffer" is a universal concept, its expression may vary uniquely across different cultures. Examining the figurative aspect of this concept within the context of its national-cultural characteristics is important, as it helps uncover the unique features of cognitive-cultural and metaphorical perception in English linguoculture. The article identifies two primary types of metaphors: perceptual and anthropomorphic. Perceptual metaphor, in turn, is further categorized into visual and auditory types. Anthropomorphic metaphor relies on personification and encompasses metaphors related to individuals' a) bodily (somatic), b) emotional and psychological, and c) physical traits. Anthropomorphic metaphor, because of its evaluative nature, can also be considered an important element of the concept's evaluative aspect. A distinct characteristic of both types of metaphors is their ability to operate together with various other types and subtypes of metaphors, complementing each other within the same text fragment.
