The motivation for the use of metaphor in bird names
 MELSKI, Dominik
This thesis aims to explore the possible reasons that motivate speakers to use metaphors in the naming units of natural organisms. The work deals with various approaches to the concept of metaphor, especially the concept of image metaphors defined by Lakoff (1992). This is followed by the description of onomasiology and onomasiological word formation models applied in the analysis. For the work, a corpus of metaphorical bird names was created. The names were sorted by the types of salient features that the metaphors express. The subsequent analysis takes place within these categories. In evaluating the motivation for the use of metaphor in the naming units, I adopted the classification suggested in Kos (2019), which I supplement with the newly observed trends. The resulting data are quantified and interpreted.
