Catachrèse comme métaphore cognitive

The article is devoted to the study of katachresis as a stylistic figure of a special type, inherent in all discourses. The study of its features is based on modern theories and approaches to figures, in particular cognitive linguistics. Theoretical considerations relate above all to the special status of "speech figure", its place in the paradigms of stylistic figures and tropes. Particular attention is drawn to its semantics, pragmatics and stylistic function.
