Abstract.
The article is devoted to the consideration of such linguistic phenomena as conceptual metaphor, polysemy and modality in English from the standpoint of cognitive linguistics. The work analyzes the influence of cognitive human experience on the speed of memorization and the depth of acquisition of foreign lexical units. The notion of “conceptual metaphor” is revealed. The author substantiates the necessity of studying a foreign language not only as a symbolic system, but also as a system of world cognition through the history and culture of representatives of different countries.
