| This paper is focused on such cognitive mechanisms as intuition and the point of the «aha» reaction or insight that may be viewed as criteria for proving the correctness of the metaphoric choice. Being studied both in the traditional stylistically-rhetorical and modern cognitive aspect, the moment of the «aha» reaction or insight promises to shed light on image-based and basically intuitive mechanisms of creative thinking. As a result of this cognitive mechanism study, we can reach the understanding of new ways to describe concepts, going far beyond the traditional bounds of standard prototypical metaphoric models. |
