Abstract
The thesis examines the semantic and stylistic relations between metonymy and metaphor in literary discourse, using English examples and Karakalpak material from stylistic studies. Both phenomena involve semantic transfer, but they are motivated by different relations: metonymy by contiguity between connected entities, metaphor by similarity between concepts. The thesis discusses how each mechanism contributes to meaning construction and expressiveness, and why the boundary between them requires contextual analysis.
