Subject:  Quantifying metaphors


I am currently engaged in analysing the prevalence of figurative
language in normal and disordered language output.  I am particularly
interested in the use of metaphors.  I am struggling to find a way of
catergorising and quantifying metaphors and am interested to hear
about other attempts to do this.  Can anyone suggest some useful
references?  I am happy to provide a summary of the information
received if there is sufficient interest.
