The gratuade thesis analyzes conceptual metaphors and metonymies on examples from the work Ciganin, ali najljepši. The first part of the gratuade thesis consists of a theoretical part that describes the language of the novel and conceptual metaphor and metonymy. Furthermore, the difference between metaphor and metonymy are emphasized, their intertwining, the mechanisms of origin and the behavior of metaphor and metonymy in the language (speech) of the novel are emphasized. In the second part of the thesis, conceptual metaphors and metonymies are analyzed on the most common and most interesting examples from the novel. The difference between conceptual metaphor and metonymy in everyday speech (conversational style) is emphasized. The colloquial style of the Croatian language is a frequent occurrence in the novel Ciganin, ali najljepši. While reading the novel, metaphorical and metonymic expressions were extracted, while data were collected for analysis, many metaphors and metonymies were found, and from this conclusion we assumed which metaphorical and metonymic expressions allude to which metaphorical and metonymic meaning. Furthermore, using metaphorical and metonymic expression and meaning, we determined the conceptual metaphor and metonymy and their interaction. In this thesis, in researching and determining metaphor and metonymy, we relied on our own worldview, experience and knowledge. In the end, with such an approach, we noticed the merging of metaphor and metonymy.
