The search for a consistent interpretation of the semantic structure of a word at the level of invariance has propelled imagery into the ranks of the most pressing issues. The paper determines the specific properties and characteristics of images. An invariant-component analysis of each of the figurative meanings and comparing them further with the semantics of the first nominative non-derivative meaning are utilized to meet the aim of the study. It is shown that the words denoting objects of nature, artifacts, zoomorphisms, that is, a specific lexicon that designates the realities that are closest to the life of people, are more descriptive. Generalization and abstractness of an image develop as a word is applied to new figurative metaphorical meanings in the process of comprehending the semantic structure of a polysemantic word.
