В центре внимания находятся способы концептуализации рака в так называемой подростковой сик-лит – относительно новом жанре подростковой литературы о тяжелых заболеваниях у подростков, преимущественно о раке. Исследование проводилось на материале четырех романов, написанных от первого лица. Общим методологическим базисом работы послужила теория концептуальной метафоры, в качестве частных исследовательских инструментов используются теория жизни метафоры (Б. Баудл и Д. Гентнер) и теория метафорической креативности (З. Кёвечеш). Новизна представленного в статье подхода заключается в том, что метафоры характеризуются дифференцированно: сначала определяются релевантные для онкоопыта тематические группы, а затем выявляются метафорические паттерны, характерные для каждой группы. В работе рассмотрены четыре группы метафор: метафоры рака как болезни; метафоры для обозначения онкопациентов; метафоры, репрезентирующие диагностические и терапевтические процедуры; метафоры, концептуализирующие физическое и эмоциональное состояние пациентов. Показано, что некоторые метафоры специализируются на обозначении одного аспекта онкоопыта: широко продвигаемая в современных дискурсах метафора путешествия валидна исключительно для концептуализации процедур, в то время как военная метафора демонстрирует тематическую универсальность. Доказано, что военная метафора не устарела и сохраняет значительный концептуальный и коммуникативный потенциал для развития.</p></abstract><abstract xml:lang="en" abstract-type="summary"><p>The present paper is a contribution to the study of cancer metaphors in contemporary English. It focuses on the ways cancer is conceptualized in teen sick-lit, a relatively new genre of children’s literature which presents stories of severe illnesses that afflict teenagers, cancer being the most important of them. The analysis is based on four novels that employ the first-person narrative mode. It rests upon the Conceptual Metaphor Theory, utilizing such specific research instruments as the Career of Metaphor Theory (B. Bowdle and D. Gentner) and the concept of metaphorical creativity (Z. Kövecses). The novelty of the research angle is that the paper takes a differentiated approach towards cancer metaphor analysis, first identifying thematic groups relevant to cancer experience and then tracing patterns of metaphor use within each group. The four groups presented in the study are metaphors of cancer itself, cancer patients, diagnostic procedures and treatments, and physical and emotional conditions of patients. It is proved that there are metaphors that demonstrate a strong inclination to reflect only one aspect of cancer experience. Thus, the actively promoted journey metaphor appears suitable only for conceptualizing procedures and treatments, while war metaphor proves versatile. Further on, the paper analyzes instances of the war metaphor use proving that far from being obsolete, it has a considerable conceptual and communicative potential and can be developed further.</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>подростковая литература о болезнях</kwd><kwd>метафора</kwd><kwd>теория концептуальной метафоры</kwd><kwd>онкоопыт</kwd><kwd>метафоры рака</kwd><kwd>военная метафора</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>teen sick-lit</kwd><kwd>metaphor</kwd><kwd>Conceptual Metaphor Theory</kwd><kwd>cancer experience</kwd><kwd>cancer metaphors</kwd><kwd>war metaphor</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><ref id="ref1"><mixed-citation publication-type="other" xml:lang="en">Bowdle B.F., Gentner D., 2005.
