| Summary: | The article presents food metaphor as a basic cognitive metaphoric model “Something – is Food”. The particular metaphoric models presented in semantics of Russian language figurative words and expressions and implemented in discursive practice have the common “left” component of metaphoric model represented by the sphere-source “FOOD/MEAL”. Metaphoric projections are directed at different spheres of extralinguistic reality, the most frequent among them are “Man” and “Society”. The issue of scope and limits of the term under consideration is connected with an application task to draw up the glossary “The dictionary of Russian food metaphor” and related to criteria for attribution of figurative words and expressions to a certain metaphor type. The periphery of figurative lexical-phraseological field “Food” is covered, as well as the sphere of overlapping of food culture code with other codes of figurative verbalization of Russian language sphere of concept. |
