Abstract

[The main aim of this work is to make an original contribution to the study of metaphors, or more particularly, to the study of how people ordinarily use and understand metaphors in their daily lives. The phenomenon of metaphor has fascinated scholars for at least two millennia and still there are many open questions. Nonetheless, I do believe that the advances in linguistics, philosophy and cognitive psychology over the past four decades have led to substantial insights into the significance and workings of metaphors.]
