Abstract
The article deals with issues related to metaphors in poetry and prose of migrants through the prism of multiculturalism. The authors argue that in cognitive perspective metaphors emerge within the framework of secondary linguistic interpretation and conceptual derivation as its underlying process. Taking into account memory peculiarities and working space of a poet or writer, possible procedural variants of metaphor production are proposed. It is stated that metaphors in poetry and prose of migrants are created being based on national / conventional and unique / individual patterns of their formation with reference to certain contextual factors that correlate with dominant constructs of poets and writers’ linguistic consciousness. Significant is the idea of integrating the accumulated contextual knowledge in the aspect of cognitive matrix, as well as possible variation in the content of the matrix model from the mundane to the expert representation of knowledge in the process of metaphorical interpretation of the world migrant poets and writers live or lived in.
