Theme composition of I. Selvinskiy’ metaphors (based on poetic essay “Journey through Kamchatka”)

You can classify a metaphor for grammatical and semantic reasons, but also by lexical-grammatical categories. Classification can be based on the foundation of metaphor. Figurative speech is secondary to the actual speech. We can distinguish the group of grounds on which it is possible to carry out classification of the figurative language means. This analysis can give a fairly complete linguistic interpretation of figurative expressions. Thematic classes of metaphor correspond to the six semantic fields, covering all the material-subject and object-indeed perfect: 1. the subject; 2. animal; 3. people; 4. physical world; 5. mental world; 6. abstraction (according to the classification of G.N. Sklyarevskaya). Realizing a system of regular metaphorical shifts within each thematic category in the work by I. Selvinsky, we will be able to identify the principal systemic ties and relations characteristic of the author. Just in the process of the study of metaphors of this work were discussed 485 metaphorical positions (with the attendant tropes, which are directly related to the six specified thematic classes). How can you verify at this stage in the work of I. Selvinsky thematically preferred to the greatest extent are the denotata belonging to the ranks of the "physical world" and "abstraction". This means that I. Selvinsky metaphors, in which the left element thematically correlated with the "physical world" and "abstraction" - prevail in its numerical composition. However, the calculation clearly shows that the rating of thematic classes in relation to the metaphors of I. Selvinsky - changes radically for the secundum comparationis.
