Abstract. The aim of this study is to identify the patterns of metaphorical modeling of non-spatial objects based on the rethinking of spatial features in the English language. The article characterizes the basic spheres of human life through metaphorical meanings created by polysemantic nouns representing space. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that a scientific idea that reveals the linguo-mental mechanism of a metaphor formation by the example of the spatial nouns paradigm in the English language has been developed. As a result of the study, we have determined that there are regularities in the formation of secondary designations of non-spatial objects based on a spatial metaphor for defining the social sphere of human activity.
Key words and phrases: семантическая модификация, языковая единица, пространственный признак, метафорический перенос, semantic modification, language unit, spatial feature, metaphorical transfer
