Abstract
Thе paper deals with the conceptualization of time with metonymies and metaphors in British and Armenian folk tales. Folk tale text as an imaginative and fictitious phenomenon carries some vivid aspects of unconscious and is considered to be a valuable material for linguistic research. The examples under analysis illustrate that in both British and Armenian folk tales the abstract concept of time is metaphorized as subject, space, and object. Moreover, the study shows that rituals, lifestyles, agricultural activities, natural phenomena, food products, and names of kingdoms are widely used as metonymies in the folk tale genre.
