Abstract
Metaphor is a micromodel and as such expresses the inherent nature of objects and phenomena from the speaker's subjective-individual perspective. The high expressive load of the metaphor makes it a very effective means of artistic expression; it is often used in daily communication to better render the speaker's communicative intention. This broad scope of usage makes it necessary to include and treat metaphor in dictionaries. In 'Azerbajdzhan dilinin izahly ligheti' ((The Explanatory Dictionary of the Azerbaijani Language), Baku, 1964-1987), three groups of widely used metaphors are treated: each is characterized and the principles of their inclusion in the dictionary are discussed.
