Abstract:

How do people understand metaphorical language? How do metaphors affect the
way people experience their social interactions? Do people always interpret
metaphors? Does a metaphor necessarily have the same meaning for different
people? Can a commonplace metaphor affect the way people think even if they
don't interpret it? Why does it matter how people interpret metaphors? The
author proposes an original communication-based theory of metaphor that
answers these and other questions about metaphors and metaphorical language.
