Abstract
The article deals with particularities of the metaphor of disease in P. Struve’s journalism in the period of 1925–1935. The material for analysis consisted of articles published in the regular column of the editor-in-chief “The politician’s journal” in newspapers “Vozrozhdenie”, “Rossiya”, “Rossiya i slavyanstvo”. The article defines the specifics of metaphorical subjects and images, appropriate frames, the dominant syntactic type of metaphors, features and principles of using the morbual metaphor in Struve’s journalism as an important component of the 1920–1930s emigrant discourse.
