Abstract
The purpose of the study is to describe sound verbs with the distinctive feature “noise”, implicitly expressing the MOVEMENT concept. The paper examines in detail the specifics of reflection of conceptual movement, manifested in the corresponding linguistic means at the lexico-semantic and syntactic levels. The study is novel in that it is the first to identify the factors influencing metaphorisation, which determines the integration of a peripheral, context-conditioned semantic meaning into the structure of the basic meaning of sound verbs. As a result of the study, the researchers have identified models representing the metaphor of movement in verbs with the semantics of sound.
