I would be very grateful if anybody found a little time to check my text... That would help me a lot.
The present paper {reads awkward, better to say "This paper"} aims at to study of the evaluative function* of metaphor in newspaper language. Metaphor has several functions. One of them is evaluative function, which is used to express the {or an} author´s attitude to towards {or about} the described object. At the same time, metaphor as a language means that it is aimed at creatingon of a certain picture in addressee´s the subject's** {or audience's, viewer's} mind so that they look at the described object from the desired point of view. ** and that This (technique) is widely used in newspaper texts, where the {or an} author**** intentionally does not want to express their his or her attitude {better terms: opinion, point of view} explicitly and instead, they uses metaphor or, vice versa conversely*****, by using metaphor, they express their attitude opinion unintentionally.
*I'm not sure if "evaluative function" is a specific term (for example, in journalism), but as a layman, this phrase is unclear. Judging from the context of the paragraph, I think you mean "contextual function" or "to convey intent".
**An "addressee" connotes someone who receives something via mail (post office).
***The original sentence was a long, run-on sentence with five different ideas being conveyed. It reads better and much clearer to break these up into smaller sentences.
****"Author" is singular, so the corresponding pronoun is his, her, or his or her. "Their" is plural.
*****"Vice versa" sounds awkward in this context. It's normally used for emphasis at the end of the sentence. Example: "I think they went out to dinner first, then watched a movie, or vice-versa".
