Документ The ontology of metaphors in aerospace technology discourse (case study: Aviation week and space technology journal)(Видавничий дім "Гельветика", 2023) Heletka, Marharyta ; Levin, YevhenThe article focuses on the use of metaphors in non-fictional discourse related to aerospace technology sector of human activity. Metaphors are no more the phenomena of rhetoric science and linguistics; they are explored from the point of view of cognitive science. Metaphors are present in conceptual structures of human mind. They structure the images and beliefs, as well as determine the way people think. Discourse is a complex process materially represented as a text which is interpreted by the recipient, who while inter-preting, gets an access to the thoughts and positions of the author of the text itself. This interaction fills the language signs with their meanings. And metaphors appear a very practical and useful tool to support the process of this interaction. As for the discourse genres, which is clearly a disputable problem, the material analyzed can be solidified under the domain of aerospace technology, subdivided into such semantic fields as business, marketing, international politics, military defense, national security, all connected with the flying vehicles and their parts – aircraft, aircraft engines, heli-copters, rocket carriers, missiles, drones etc. Therefore, the material representation of the discourse under study proves it to be a scientific and business discourse at the same time. Of great interest is the functioning of metaphors in this non-fictional genre of discourse. Metaphor is a tool used to conceptualize the reality through interpreting the elements of certain domain in terms of the elements of another domain. It is the ontological mapping across conceptual domains, from a certain source domain to some target domain. The authors admit that there are new or creative metaphors and conventional metaphors divided into ontological, structural and orientational. The analysis showed that the discourse contains rather conventional than creative meta-phors and is heavily loaded with metonymies.
