Abstract. The study aims to determine specific features of animal metaphors in I. A. Krylov’s fables. The article clarifies distinctive features of wolf, fox, lion, dog and donkey images, provides a structural analysis of metaphorical images, describes their characteristics. The research is novel in that it identifies the predominant way of metaphorical transfer, as well as a productive model of its creation. As a result, it was proved that the majority of indirect nominations in I. A. Krylov’s fables are based on contrasting human and animal behaviour, and the unique feature of conveying a moral lesson to the reader is built on reinterpretation of the verbal component of a metaphor - on predicativity.
