Metaphor is a key element of our article, which is known to modern cognitive science as a general mental activity, as an order of cognition, structuring and explanation of the world. The individual does not convey his thoughts exclusively through metaphors, but he also thinks in metaphors, organizing the world in which he lives through metaphors.
The structure of the article includes a description of the metaphor, its general features and models and its role in political discourse, practical examples and a conclusion expressing our vision in working on the problem. This is part of our master's thesis on the analysis of political discourse.
