NOMINATION OF INTERNET TERMINOLOGY BY METAPHOR

Abstract

It is well known that various people can interpret the same words differently. For instance, the shift in a word's semantics mostly depends on semantic transformations like metaphor, metonymy, and synecdoche. Scientists agree that metaphor plays a fundamental part in the semantic process of developing a term because new terms emerge based on the unique characteristics of words in everyday literary and living languages, such as their resemblance in shade and common likeness. Language metaphor construction is one of the methods used to create phrases with specific functions.
