Summary/Abstract: The article presents detailed analysis of the interrelations between metaphor, metonymy and image schema in the metaphorical conceptualization of FEAR/STRACH in English and Polish. The theoretical framework of the study is provided by the Conceptual Metaphor Theory, which is one of the basic elements of Cognitive Linguistics. The material used in the analytical part comes from various lexicographic sources and language corpora. The study also deals with a comparative analysis of some elements of the conceptual model of FEAR across the two languages.
