Taymour M. P.  (Moscow State Linguistic University)

This article is devoted to the problem of mixed metaphor among other metaphorical units in the English language and the allocation of mixed metaphor in the general system of metaphoric language as a separate linguistic phenomenon. The role of mixed metaphor in modern linguistics is examined and the taxonomy of the propositional structure of the metaphor is studied. To analyse the components of mixed metaphor, the theory of rhetorical structure is used and a procedure for the analysis of a metaphorical unit is developed in order to discriminate a mixed metaphor.
