A growing body of literature on positive psychology necessitates the study of the linguistic organization of the positive thinking discourse and cognitive mechanisms of its formation. Professional psychologists widely employ language and metaphorical formations in particular as a powerful instrument of transforming one’s thinking patterns. The shift from negative to positive thinking presupposes changing a person’s mindset by activating a new set of conceptual schemes. The analysis of metaphorical conceptual models allows revealing differences in the conceptualization of POSITIVE THINKING and NEGATIVE THINKING concepts as an integral part of modern American conceptual worldview.Literaturhinweise
