Abstract
The present research featured linguistic metaphors with the somatic component hand as part of the axiological aspect of the image of a gambling addict in Stefan Zweig’s 24 Hours in the Life of a Woman. The research objective was to analyze the linguistic metaphors that verbalize the image of a gambling addict and to describe related evaluative meanings that reflect its axiological aspect. The authors also classified linguistic metaphors with the somatic component hand according to linguistic hierarchy, type of transfer, and stylistic significance. Their axiological meanings were represented by sensory, subliminal, and rationalistic evaluations. The image of a gambling addict was based on negative subliminal evaluations with an emphasis on their ethical aspect (moral vs. immoral). The image proved to be a set of positive and negative evaluations, represented by particular evaluative meanings with immoral aspect and verbalized via linguistic metaphors with the somatic component hand.
