This article introduces the definition and nature of metaphor in linguistics. Metaphor is a significant stylistic device in language, involving the description of one object or process through another. The paper examines the importance of metaphor in linguistics, its connection with human cognition, and how it functions in linguistic processes. Additionally, the article discusses conceptual metaphor theory, its relationship with language and culture, and various types of metaphors, including verbal and visual metaphors. It is highlighted that metaphor is not just a stylistic feature of language but an essential tool for shaping human thought and understanding abstract concepts.
