Subject:  Quantifying metaphors

I recently posted a query on the linguist list regarding the
quantification and categorisation of figurative language.  I was
particularly interested in metaphor.  I would like to thank the
following people for their responses:

Daniel Currie Hall
Andrew Rosta
George Elgin
Suzette Haden Elgin
Tim Clausner
Carrasquel Debus

schematicity in metaphors." Cognitive Science, 21(3), pp. 247-
282.

Aphasic Disturbances." In Jakobson, Roman, and Morris Halle,
