dc.abstract.enThe study presents a contrastive Italian-Polish-Russian analysis of the left-headed binominal constructions of the type [N1 of N2] composed of a metaphorical classifier belonging to the semantic domain of watercourse, i.e. It. fiume, Pol. rzeka, Russ. reka ‘river’. The main aim of the usage-based study is to describe and compare the process of metaphorization drawn on the natural aquatic phenomenon by identifying the classes of N2 collocates, the frequency and context of their occurrences in comparable and parallel linguistic corpora. A contrastive, corpus-based approach makes it possible to verify whether and how the metaphor realized by the It. [fiume di N] construction is expressed in the two Slavic languages. It also helps to describe convergence or divergence with respect to the Italian binominal. Our findings show that the river-metaphor, though grammaticalized to quite different degrees, exhibits similar metaphorical mappings in the three languages.
