This article analyzes the metaphorical models with the subject “human” and “part of the body” in the poetry of A. Mariengof and S. Yesenin. The object of the research is comparative paths in which metaphorical models are realized. Based on the consideration of metaphors and comparisons, metaphorical models are isolated and characterized, reflecting the connection between two conceptual areas. The comparison of metaphorical models in the poetry of A. Mariengof and S. Yesenin is carried out, the features of similarity and difference are highlighted. It was revealed that both poets pay considerable attention to a person as a subject of figurative comparisons. The model “human — being” is represented by comparisons with different representatives of the fauna, the semantics of images of which in poetic systems do not coincide. The most important for the authors figurative correspondences of a person, the most significant for each poet, subjects and objects of comparison are determined. The model “human — plant” occupies an important place in the figurative world of S. Yesenin, A. Mariengof mainly uses comparisons with objects of inanimate nature. Models with the subject “part of the body” are characterized by a variety of comparison subjects, especially in the poetry of A. Mariengof. The somatic vocabulary which is used by the authors is considered. Cases of combination in the realizations of metaphorical models of high and low are noted. Figurative correspondences through which poets characterize themselves are identified.
