Abstract
the article presents a comparative study of the metaphorical representation of gastronomic discourse in the English, Russian and Dargin languages. The authors analyze the role of gastronomic metaphors with the source-domain and target-domain FOOD, identifying universal and culture-specific features of the gastronomic metaphor. The analysis of paroemia and literary texts as the carriers of ethnocultural information has shown that food is liable to function as a source-domain rather than target-domain; in all the three languages the most effective metaphorical model for conceptualizing abstract concepts through food is personification and synesthetic metaphor. The study has revealed that food is not only an important element of the culture code, reflecting values, emotions and social relations, but also a means of conceptualizing complex concepts such as truth, beauty, difficulties in achieving a goal. The data obtained can serve as a basis for further research of gastronomic metaphors in other languages and cultures.
