Abstract

The article focuses on the concept construction in the framework of the conceptual metaphor theory by Lakoff and the frame theory by V. Evans which implements both the categorizing and stylistic functions in the discourse spaces of the novels The Sandcastle by Iris Murdoch and Killing me softly by French (2008). The construction concept helps to efficiently render the author’s message as well as the main characters’ feelings and attitudes to the relationships they are involved and themselves. Thus, we come to a conclusion that the construction concept does not only help the readers to understand the authors’ ideas and attitudes quickly and efficiently but also contributes to the linguistic creative potential of the above mentioned novels.
