Abstract
The article deals with a metaphoric perspective in the study of sociological terminology. Metaphor has long been widely used in reasoning and writing within humanitarian discourse. When Sociology was singled out as a separate discipline, it inherited metaphor as a tool of scientific analysis, which made it an invaluable source of sociological terminology. The article reveals that source domains for metaphors in Sociology are found in anthropocentricity of cognition, activity-based and cultural concepts.
