Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze compounds referring to people that contain words for animals in order to bring to light the metaphors and metonymies that affected their creation. This study consists of a theoretical and practical part. In the theoretical framework the study gives a brief overview of compounds and their classification as well as metonymy, metaphor, and its subcategory crucial for this study, zoosemy. the study takes a closer look at zoosemy, and which elements are combined in order for the HUMAN AS ANIMAL metaphor to work; namely the Great Chain of Being, the Nature of Things theory, the GENERIC IS SPECIFIC metaphor, and the communicative Maxim of Quantity. This part is followed by methodology which briefly describes how this study was approached. The practical part consists of an analysis which will delve into each chosen compound and try to show how metaphors and metonymies affect the constituents of each compound and the semantic link between them in order to get to the meaning that the compound contains. The study will offer an explanation behind the choice of each constituent of the compound. The conclusion will finally highlight the patterns of compound creation that will be uncovered in the analysis.
