Abstract

This article gives the definition to the multimodal chess metaphor as a variety of cross-mapping in which the correlate is expressed with a visual semiotic sign (the image of chess pieces or a chessboard) and the referent is expressed verbally (the written text). The article also describes its mechanism. Linguistic and visual means of objectivizing multimodal chess metaphor in English creolized texts are brought to light.
