Abstract: We explored the influence of linguistic (grammatical gender, animateness), speech (frequency and syntactic position of the words) and extra-linguistic factors (sex of subject) on a referential relatedness of metaphorical name of the person in the Russian language in a series of experiments (pendulum is a figurative name of a man or woman?).
Keywords: gender-marked metaphors, experimental study, referential choice
