Abstract: 
The paper discusses the problem of information represented in the basic and metaphorical meanings of polysemantic lexical units. The results obtained demonstrate a different role of perceptual, functional etc. semantic components in the organization of the semantic structure of the word. This is revealed in the frequency of different semantic components as connecting elements (connecting links) between the meanings of German polysemantic nouns, in particular in those nouns the basic meanings of which have different lexicosemantic properties.

Keywords:  metaphoric transfer, semantic components, polysemantic noun, perception, form, function
