Аннотация: The paper examines the cognitive pattern lying beneath the verbaldescription of morality in philosophical discourse of John Locke and theological and religious texts of the previous centuries. We overview contemporaryapproaches to morality through the prism of theory of conceptual metaphor andembodied cognition framework. The metaphor of linearity or some straight linebeing the core source for conceptualizing morality is studied in dynamics in discourse though analyzing the collocations: moral rule, moral rectitude and moralright. Google Books and English Historical Book Collection corpora were used togage metaphorical conventionality and lexical versatility. Then, the obtained datawere compared to their use in Locke’s text “Essay Concerning Human Understanding”. We reveal that, although the core metaphor remained the same, thechoices made in the philosophical discourse point at a clear shift from the termsmainly used in religious discourse to the neutral ones to form a terminologicallysolid narrative devoid of any contradictions, unclear understandings and diverseconnotations. Our findings reveal how metaphorical lexicalization changes yetbeing inherently the same in terms of underlying images thus marking importantcultural shifts.
