Abstract

This study focuses on the metaphorical features of migration representation in the American press. According to the cognitive approach on which our research is based, the metaphor is an important phenomenon in understanding the surrounding reality. The study of linguistic material and the description of metaphorical models allowed us to identify attitudes towards migrants at the present stage of development of American society. The analysis of conceptual metaphors was carried out by means of a continuous sample of electronic versions of the American media and made it possible to distinguish three main groups: metaphors that personify natural phenomena and natural disasters, military and commodity-thing metaphors. An analysis of the factual material suggests a negative stereotype associated with migrants in the minds of Americans.
