Metaphor

Mixed metaphor - two metaphors together.

Normal speech is deeply metaphorical.
Metaphor, is about the perception of common properties, not just word use. Seeing one thing in terms of another.
Example "He's a cold person"
"He's a warm person"
Conceptualize an emotion as a temperature.
Time, Motion, Space, Object, Landscape, Future.
Blossoming friendship, budding.

Fitting two realms together, mapping one in terms of another. Cross -domain. mapping stages in a relationship to places you have travelled.

Love as a journey.
Target Domain - emotion
Source Domain - Personality.

Thinking guided by metaphors, sleeping metaphors, e.g leg of a table, dead of night.

Vision, common invisable metaphor, seeing means understanding.
Thinking about self. "out of your mind" "beside yourself"

Why do we need metaphors?
Doesn't just refer to something, it describes it.
Seeing death as night,
scream of brakes.
sound, secondary properties suggests fear.

Put the past behind us. Not descriptive, easier to think of time as space.
