ABSTRACT:The paper sets out to examine the metaphoricity of the discourse of literary criticism dealing with poetry. The research carried out in the framework of contemporary metaphor studies relying, first of all, on the Conceptual Metaphor Theory and its followers, attempts to uncover metaphors structuring the discourse of literary criticism in two distinct cultures -English and Russian. The methodology of the investigation is based on the key principles of the metaphor identification procedure (STEEn et al., 2010) and metaphorical patterns (STEfanowITSCh, 2006). The results suggest that the main source domain for conceptualizing poetry in literary criticism in both languages is a person. however, this domain features much more prominently in English, whereas the domains of sound and music, painting and journey are more relevant in Russian. Many metaphors are inevitably evaluative -employed to express the writer's positive or negative attitude. KEYWORDS: literary criticism; poetry; metaphor; source domain; English; Russian. RESUMO:Este estudo se propõe a investigar a metaforicidade do discurso da crítica literária relacionada à poesia. a pesquisa desenvolvida no quadro dos estudos contemporâneos da metáfora se apoia, em primeiro lugar, na 422Teoria da Metáfora Conceitual e seus seguidores, e busca revelar metáforas que estruturam o discurso da crítica literária em duas culturas distintas -a inglesa e a russa. a metodologia de pesquisa se baseia nos pressupostos do Método de Identificação da Metáfora (STEEn et al., 2010) e padrões de metáforas (STEfanowITSCh, 2006). os resultados sugerem que o principal domínio-fonte para conceitualizar poesia na crítica literária nos dois idiomas é PESSoa. Contudo, esse domínio se destaca muito mais em inglês, enquanto que os domínios SoM, MÚSICa, PInTURa e VIaGEM se sobressaem mais em russo. Inevitavelmente, muitas metáforas são de cunho avaliativo -empregadas para expressar as atitudes positivas ou negativas do escritor.
