Abstract
The article focuses on the potential of such stylistic devices as metaphor, simile and personification in creating cognitive dissonance. These literary devices are constructed on the basis of the mechanism of similarity and involve comparing two objects. The analysis of the material conducted via the scheme of conceptual integration made it possible to identify which features in the structure of the blend distinguish local dissonance phenomena and to determine the conditions under which the studied stylistic means create cognitive dissonance.
