| Popis: | Social communication becomes a matter of considerable interest tocontemporary linguistics, and this research branch is interrelated with a speech act theory. Metaphor is one of the most expressive language devices and it is often used in the communication process. It allows one to realize the speaker’s pragmatic intention and to achieve the desired impact on the recipient. Basing on the speech acts theory, the author explores the communicative function of the metaphors selected from the French military vocabulary which dates from the early XX century. The author focuses on the metaphors encoding the military realities and shows that the metaphorical functioning is conditioned by the psychological and pragmatic needs which are closely connected to the everyday professional activity. Furthermore, the use of metaphors in the speech provides the way to manifest the military corporate identity. |
