Abstract

The article discusses the frame «Disease» as a component of political metaphor conceptual field «Medicine» in the Ukrainian language. Political metaphor is actively used in Ukrainian-language texts. Political metaphor conceptual fields according to modern cognitology are one of the main mental processes that are a way of knowing, structuring and explaining the world around us. Political metaphor conceptual fields not only reproduce fragments of the social experience of a certain cultural community, but also form this experience. The conceptual field «Medicine» is one of the most frequently used metaphors within the conceptual field «Human World» in the Ukrainian language. The conceptual field «Medicine» is verbalized through the semantic field, which generally consists of lexical units characterizing the condition as a whole. In turn, this conceptual field consists of a
chain of structured frames, which are not just a set of frames, the signs of which are arranged in a certain hierarchy, but a system of interconnected, intersecting cognitive structures, which are represented in the linguistic picture of the world using various methods of nomination. Political metaphors of the frame «Disease» as a component of the conceptual field «Medicine» usually cause negative associations to the reader, because they are associated with poor human well-being and unnatural functioning of socio-political systems. An organ of social and political life affected by
the disease, just like an infected person, feels suffering, pain, and is quite vulnerable.
The article underlines two main groups of diseases: physical and mental, each of which is a component of the frame «Disease», and also it outlines the slots «Body injuries», «Syndrome», «Disease Symptom» and «Pregnancy» from which the frame«Disease» consists of. Also the frequency of this frame use in the Ukrainian language is researched.
Key words: metaphor, political metaphor, conceptual field, politics,conceptosphere, frame, desease, medicine
