Abstract

A theoretical analysis of particular spatial metaphorical nominations in intercultural communication has been attempted in this article. The subject of the author's analysis, nomination, is a linguistic individual with a particular set of beliefs about the overall state of the world. Nomination is considered the most significant universal cognitive and information process. The participants' distinct age, gender, nationality, and other characteristics clearly distinguish them from one another, which suggests that one's own knowledge and background may cause communication difficulties. As a member of a specific linguistic culture, one names and creates new concepts, establishes certain connections, and replaces the concrete with the abstract when they recognize objects and phenomena. Within the context of this article, the issue of the cultural uniqueness of linguistic units assumes a central role. This is because, among other modern linguistic issues, the study of the nation's unique culture and peculiar set of linguistic units that reflect its distinctive features is prompted by the cognitive mechanism of national and cultural linguistic units, which reveals the relationship between language and consciousness.
