Linguoculturology is a new emerging field of linguistics that came within anthropocentric paradigm, and this helps to learn how language expresses culture, and how it displays, transmits and stores cultural information. In this point, stylistic devices such as metaphors can be cultural models because in all literary texts, writers use metaphors based on their own cultural knowledge. In order to understand the true meaning of metaphors, readers should have general background about the country that metaphors emerged. In this article, the linguacultural peculiarities of metaphors in “1984” by George Orwell is discussed.
