This research analyzes the mechanisms of implicit meaning formation in metaphors, aphorisms, and phraseological units from the perspective of cognitive linguistics. Despite formal differences, their semantic structure is built on a single cognitive model involving figurative thinking and logical generalization. The study utilizes cognitive-conceptual analysis and semantic modeling to demonstrate that hidden meaning is a product of human cognitive activity. The findings propose a universal model: Image/Experience → Cognition/Motivation → Generalization → Implicit Meaning.(4)
