Megjegyzések:	The present study explores the impact of L2 proficiency on metaphorical language production among Georgian learners of English, with the aim of examining the relationship between EFL proficiency levels and the accurate use of metaphorical language. The analysis is conducted on a Georgian EFL essay corpus compiled for this research, which includes argumentative essays written by 60 Georgian learners with B1, B2, and C1 proficiency levels. The study pursues three primary objectives: firstly, measuring metaphor density across the three proficiency levels; secondly, examining the prevalence of different metaphorical error categories; and lastly, exploring the impact of the learners' L1 background on EFL metaphor usage. Based on the findings, a clear correlation emerges between the participants' proficiency levels and metaphor density, reaching the highest density at the advanced level. A thorough analysis of metaphorical errors highlights a noteworthy trend among B2-level learners, who not only exhibit the highest proportion of errors within metaphors but also demonstrate the most significant influence of their L1 on these errors. A detailed inspection of error categories within L1-influenced metaphorical errors underscores the prevalence of confusion of sense relations and phrasal errors as the predominant categories. Overall, these results lend support to earlier observations by Littlemore et al. (2014) and Iaroslavtseva and Skorczynska (2017) that emphasize the essential role of B2 level foreign language proficiency in shaping learners' metaphoric competence and experimenting with figurative language.
