This paper focuses on verbal means which create mimetic imagery and highlights the mechanisms of its generation in English biblical ecodiscourse. The research proves that sensory and spatial images and sound effects create a powerful, ecologically charged multilayer three-projection mimetic imagery in biblical narrations.
