description Based on the general conceptual content and the speaker’s intention, signs can acquire an additional communicative function. Their inherent semantic applications can be interpreted only at the metasemiotic level. Metaphoric means of expression are of special significance in terms of pragmatic analysis which makes it possible to penetrate into the imaginary world of the author and perceive the metaphoric meaning of the speech.
