A corpus-based analysis of the distribution of GM in literary critical essays echanism of GM in those chosen articles is;matical resources can beutilized to reveal a significant means of foregrounding, thus constituting an important aspectof style markers; plications of the current study is to have a better understandingand position of LCEs for those intended readers and etaphor is approached as a figure of speech ile, synecdoche and metonymy, exploiting the substitution of the expression of one thingfor a similar notion.
