The axiological component of the metaphor in medical online communication (based on the French language)

The article analyzes the axiological components of metaphors in medical communication. Using metaphors in online medical communication in the French language as an example, aspects of evaluation and value of the axiological component of medical activity are represented. The study aims to identify the axiological component of medical online communication contained in the metaphor. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that metaphors in medical online communication were analyzed taking into account the main axiological components of medical activity with an emphasis on the evaluative and value components contained in the metaphors under consideration. As a result, it was found that in modern online medical communication, the axiological components of medical activity are represented through the metaphor. Among these components, the aspect of evaluation and the aspect of value are separately highlighted. The research material is represented by the metaphors found in the French online space and structured according to the semantic feature. The work is based on the principle of classification that corresponds to the transfer of meaning from the source domain of the metaphor to the target domain through a common semantic feature.
