Summary/Abstract: The present work is an attempt to analyze the grammatical metaphors as the sociolinguistic markers within sociolinguistic framework. The paper reviews the interrelationship between grammatical metaphors and horror stories. The writer has to choose between the two abstract nouns: partially substantivized and fully substantivized in order to impart the story with some metaphorical and transcendental shading. The present work can be used for the analysis of fiction text purposes and for understanding different texts which abound in abstract nouns.
