The metaphor of color in medicine (continued)

The article discusses the metaphor with a color component in the language of medicine. In the scientific world, there is an increasing interest in the study of color in various aspects of science. In modern research, the metaphor is associated not only with a subject cognizing reality, but with a person who is in being, with the way of human existence in the world. Modern theory believes that the very existence of a metaphor asserts the primacy of figurative meanings. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that medical metaphors with a component of color designation concretize the disease and play an important role in expanding the professional picture of the world of a medical specialist, and also indicate the development of medicine and its language, which carries complex information about the disease, drug, symptom, etc. The article uses the following research methods: the method of dictionary definitions, the method of component analysis, with which the semantic structure of medical metaphors with a component of color meanings is reconstructed, the descriptive method, the method of traditional empirical observations. The scientific novelty consists in the fact that for the first time medical metaphors with a component of color designation will be systematized, thematic groups on subject areas of medicine are defined, their semantic features reflecting special knowledge defining the features of the worldview in the medical community, discourse as an activity provided by language are considered. Medical metaphors with a color component perform particularly important functions for the successful professional communication of a doctor and are unique and irreplaceable means of communication.
