PROBLEMS OF METAPHOR RESEARCH IN GERMAN STUDIES

The main result of metaphorization is a metaphor. Metaphors can be studied from different angles. Metaphors can serve as a means of description and explanation in all areas. Wherever metaphor is used, it always enriches the understanding of human action, activity, knowledge, and language. The ubiquity of the metaphor is a key factor in confirming its relevance to various discourses. The conceptual approach to reality, its objects, and events have also given rise to the conceptual theory of metaphor. Within the conceptual theory of metaphor, man perceives the world in which he lives with the help of metaphor. Because metaphor reflects the interaction of thought and language, and because metaphor and metaphorization are studied from a discourse plan, the study of metaphor event and metaphorization in language has always been relevant. Research on metaphor dates back to antiquity and is one of the most widely studied problems today. Undoubtedly, this problem has not gone unnoticed in German studies, and a lot of research has been devoted to the issue of metaphor in German. In general, the theory of metaphor was created and developed in German studies. If the first idea of phraseology was put forward by a French linguist, and his theory was created by Russian linguists, the basis of the theory of metaphor was laid in German studies and developed mainly in German studies. Research shows that there are more primary scientific studies and works on metaphor in German studies than in other languages, and the study of metaphor from a theoretical and practical point of view is currently underway.
