Abstract

The article discusses a metaphor and a metonymy, functioning as cognitive tools for the expression of an imagery element not as the main stylistic devices. The main purpose and the novelty of the present article are in undertaking the detailed analysis of a Metaphtonymy with the idiomatic compound words in the English and Uzbek languages. Moreover, as a Metaphtonymy is a new notion appeared as a result of the mutual harmony of a conceptual metaphor and a conceptual metonymy in contemporary linguistics, the definitions of a conceptual metaphor, a conceptual metonymy, and a Metaphtonymy are briefly discussed. The use of a Metaphtonymy in a language is analyzed with the examples of idiomatic compound words in the English and Uzbek languages.

Keywords: metaphtonymy, conceptual metaphor, conceptual metonymy, cognitive domain, idiomatic compound word, linguistic
world view.
