	Sorry to slow down the bus here, but I don't understand this
metaphor at all.  I am not a linguist, nor have I spent much time in
Discourse Studies, and so I admittedly behind the curve here.
Nevertheless, I am interested in definition, but cannot  access the above
metaphor.  Can someone break this down a bit?
