Abstract. The article deals with the notion "linguistic worldview", and also how it is expressed in the fiction text. The term "linguistic worldview" is examined from the point of view of the interconnection of language and culture, where language expresses a certain way of the conceptualization of the reality of some language collective. The author emphasizes her attention on one of the tropes used to create the linguistic worldview - a metaphor. The paper gives examples of metaphorical nominations from the work by Kurt Vonnegut "Breakfast of Champions". The interpretation of the used metaphors is presented.
Key words and phrases: картина мира, языковая картина мира, метафора, метафорическая номинация, концептуализация, культура и язык, worldview, linguistic worldview, metaphor, metaphorical nomination, conceptualization, culture and language
