Annotation:

The description of specific metaphorical models is one of the perspective trends in modern cognitive linguistics. The man prefigures the model of situation and specific fragment of the world in his consciousness with the help of the language and the metaphor, being a phenomenon both linguistic and cognitive, helps him to create a new way of representing an object. Thus it creates a specific national paroemic picture of the world which can be presented as an integrated communicative and cognitive space. The objective of the article is to analyse the verbalization of the conceptual sphere law in the paroemic view of the world by American people. The verbali-zation of the conceptual sphere law is analyzed with the help of a systemic approach. During the research both linguistic and cognitive methods were used. The analysis of the frame structure of metaphorical models allows revealing characteristic frames and slots typical of each model to find out specific features of the world concep-tualization by the American people and its system of values.
