Abstract
The article is dedicated to the study of the metaphorical potential of the lexemes "ne" and "eyes" in the Kabardino-Circassian and English languages. The relevance of the study is due to the need for a comparative study of visual metaphors in the Kabardino-Circassian and English languages, which will reveal the specific features of the national picture of the world of the studied lan-guages. In the course of the work, the empirical material was studied using various linguistic methods and the most productive visual metaphorical models in Kabardino-Circassian and Eng-lish were identified. The author comes to the conclusion that metaphorical images in the studied languages largely coincide, which can be explained by the universality of the biological functions of the eye as an organ. The paper notes a higher nominative density of the metaphorical model "Eyes are love" in the Kabardino-Circassian language and a higher metaphorical potential of the lexeme "ne".
