The metaphors used in speech are mainly related to thinking, imagination, and rich worldview. S.Seyidov writes: “If a person sees objects and events in the external world around him differently from others and at the same time can present them, he/she has creative thinking and metaphorical thinking [13, p.9]. It is true that metaphorical thinking can be quite developed in ordinary people, but it is more noticeable in creative people. Determining the types of metaphors and their distribution is a subject of some comparison. Thus, they usually distinguish between a group of linguistic and conceptual metaphors. G.Lakoff and M.Johnson write: “Metaphor is a widespread concept in our daily lives, and it manifests itself not only in language but also in our thoughts and actions. Our conceptual system has a metaphorical nature, both in terms of thought and action [7, p.67]. Distinguishing between linguistic metaphors and conceptual metaphors, A. Kielbauska writes: “While linguistic metaphors exist only in a language, conceptual metaphors are realized in different forms of expression: language, appearance, music, painting, theater, etc. The fact that metaphors can exist not only verbally, but also in such a variety of ways, even in gestures that are considered non-verbal means of communication, shows their conceptual nature [3, p. 19].
