Abstract
Major cognitive processes that take place during the secondary nomination of reality when using the concepts HEAVY and LIGHT in English fictional, scientific and religious discourses are the conceptual metaphor, metonymy, and oxymoron that are based on the reason. The sources of the reason formation are the hyperseme «weight», the semantic markers of the lexemes heavy and light, images and associations. The conceptual metonymy of these concepts is based on the transition of the cognitive marker within the relations «the carrier is the features of the carrier; the container is its contents; to do the action is the object». The figurative content of the concepts HEAVY and LIGHT is actualized by structural, ontological and orientational metaphors. The schemes for structural metaphors are EVENT, HEAVY – LIGHT, REASON – RESuLT.
