Abstract
The research was carried out on the material of the essay by Joseph Brodsky "A guide to the renamed city", "One and a half rooms", and the novel by Orhan Pamuk "Istanbul : the city of memories". The purpose of the article is to identify common ways of creating an image of a house in the works of Joseph Brodsky and Orhan Pamuk as one of the key images in the literatures of the world. In this case, the word "house" includes all dictionary meanings: dynasty, clan; residential building; a place where people live, united by common interests, conditions of existence; your home; family, people living together, their household; as well as such figurative meanings as society, city, country. Conclusions: both authors traced the expansion of the semantics of the image of the house, which finds its expression in the sequential inclusion of a larger group of people localized in a wider space. Since groups of people, living in one city or in one country, due to metaphorical transfers, can be called families (differing in composition)/, then, respectively, the city and country in which these families live, as a result of metonymic transfers, can acquire the meanings of houses differing in size.
