Abstrakt: Within the framework of cognitive-discourse approach, the authors focus on the conceptual effects of metaphors used in commercial advertising for the sake of sales promotion. The article gives insights into the construction of pragmatically-orientated mental representations activated by metaphors as means of persuasion and entertaining the target audience. The authors chiefly draw on Text World Theory [1], [6], [7], [10], [11], [12] and Conceptual Blending Theory [5] because their heuristics can provide an adequate model of the text-driven discourse-level conceptual structures created in the minds of recipients. Text-worlds are viewed as mental representations 'which enable us to conceptualize and understand every piece of language we encounter' [6: 2]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
