Metaphor in intercultural communication
The article is devoted to research of metaphor's role in intercultural communication and to conveying it in the translating language. The metaphor is described in the paper as a complicated, multidimensional phenomenon and is considered in two aspects: as a trope and a figure of speech which serves for expressivity and expression of opinion of the author in the artistic text as well as a language metaphor which has lost the figurativeness and expressivity as a result of the broad use by language community whereas translation process is considered to be a psychological process. The authors of the article in detail dwell on a polysemantic basis of the translation. It is importance of process and result of the translation in modern society to which special attention is paid in the work as translation has a public mission.
