Abstract
Metaphor is not just a linguistic phenomenon, but a way of thinking — it helps to understand the inner and outer world of a human being. The author of this paper conducted a comparative study of the concept of “liver” using the material of linguistic corpora of the Chinese and Russian languages. The word “liver” being used in the metaphorical sense is a frequent phenomenon in both Chinese and Russian languages. The metaphorical use of “liver” with different connotations in these two languages is determined by different historical backgrounds and cultural differences between the Russians and the Chinese.
