The thesis examines contemporary Slovenian poet Muanis Sinanović and his use of metaphors in the collections Dvovid and Krhke karavane. The theoretical part summarizes the characteristics of modern Slovenian poetry, followed by an overview of the central theories of metaphor (substitution, interaction and cognitive), the grammatical division of metaphors and the division into traditional and modern (or absolute) metaphors. In the main part, metaphors from the considered collections are first divided according to reference (self-reference, address, verbal metaphors in the indefinite article, genitive metaphors and others), and then according to dominant motifs. The poet in question often uses modern and absolute metaphors, which makes the interpretation quite demanding; the attachment of the body to the landscape along with transformation and identification are often repeated.
