METAFORA POETYCKA W CYKLU WIERSZY INNY LISNIANSKIEJ НЕБЕСНЫЕ CТРОПЫ

The classical definition of metaphor by Aristotle, though imperfect, survived many centuries. However, in 1980 the book of Mark Johnson and George Lakoff, Metaphors We Live By, has changed the view of metaphor and its role in the communication and poetics. One-shot metaphor, in the terminology of Lakoff, is a metaphor for single use which most often relates to the language of poetry. Poetry as a discourse is inherently subjective and highly creative and therefore, without any restrictions, may represent unique and surprising images, that are unusual in the everyday communication. In the cycle of poems Небесные стропы by Inna Lisnianskaya we are dealing with a creative combination of two metaphors LIFE IS A JOURNEY and MOVEMENT IS A CHANGE, where Lisnianskaya also used the picture of the angels hanging on the ropes in order to depict a man struggling with a number of cultural and emotional dependences.
