Abstract

The article explores the use of metaphors in scientific writing. The metaphor has been reconceived in a way that suggests a cognitive approach to the research, which highlights the dynamic nature of metaphors. Researchers in the fields of philosophy and linguistics study how thinking and metaphor interact. The noun is highlighted among metaphors in the lexical paradigm of nominations. Terminological structure of a scientific text is mostly formed by nouns. In the course of thinking, a live metaphor emerges while in language use, a dead metaphor comes to life.
