Abstract. The research aims to identify the types of regular metaphorical transfers carried out on the basis of the agricultural verbs “to dig” / «копать» in the languages under comparison, i.e. Russian and English; to highlight the general and specific in the metaphorics of the equivalent verbs “to dig” / «копать»; to determine the main semantic fields, which include the metaphorical meanings of the verbs to “dig” / «копать». The research is novel in that it is the first to use the material of the thematic group “Processes of Agricultural Labour” for a comparative study of the linguistic nature of the metaphor. As a result, the researcher has identified the characteristic features of metaphors formed from the verbs “to dig” / «копать» and the semantic fields in which the metaphorical meanings of these verbs are actively used in the English and Russian languages.
