Abstract

Drawing on the material of verbal-visual satirical cartoons in modern political discourse in Spanish, the article discusses the issues of interaction of metaphor and metonymy in them. The study of the cognitive mechanism of metaphthonymy allows to identify the main metaphthonymic models present in these cartoons. The main characteristics of modern Spanish-language multimodal cartoons are also highlighted.
