Cognitive Features of the Metaphor in the Logical Type of Argumentation of A. Lincoln's Discourse

Abstract

We give a statement that a logical reasoning is aimed at re-interpreting the thesis within the framework of a given value. The cognitive feature of the metaphor in the discourse of A. Lincoln is that it does not change the existing value preferences of the addressee, the American people, but, precisely, the equality of all people and their representation of freedom.
