Abstract:
Mixing metaphors in speech, writing, and even gesture, is traditionally viewed
as a sign of inconsistency in thought and language. Despite the prominence of
mixed metaphors, there have been surprisingly few attempts to comprehensively
explain why people mix their metaphors so frequently and in the particular
ways they do. This volume brings together a distinguished group of linguists,
psychologists and computer scientists, who tackle the issue of how and why
mixed metaphors arise and what communicative purposes they may serve. These
scholars, almost unanimously, argue that mixing metaphors is a natural
consequence of common metaphorical thought processes, highlighting important
complexities of the metaphorical mind. Mixing Metaphor, for the first time,
offers new, critical empirical and theoretical insights on a topic that has
long been ignored within interdisciplinary metaphor studies.

as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation,
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal
Tax number is 45-4211155. These donations can be offset against

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department

procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
