Abstract:

Over the past decades, metaphor has predominantly been studied as a matter of
language and thought within the framework of Conceptual Metaphor Theory.
Recently, however, metaphor scholars have observed that this two-dimensional
cognitive-linguistic view of metaphor does not (sufficiently) accommodate the
role of metaphor in communication. They argue for a rehabilitation of more
rhetorically-oriented approaches to metaphor in which the role of metaphor as
metaphor in communication between language users is central.

This thesis investigates the communicative dimension of metaphor within the
developing theoretical framework of Deliberate Metaphor Theory (DMT). DMT
extends the two-dimensional model of metaphor with a dimension of
communication in which a distinction is made between ‘deliberate’ and
‘non-deliberate’ metaphors. Specifically, this thesis contributes to the
further development of this three-dimensional model of metaphor by addressing
a set of key methodological and empirical issues regarding the role of
deliberate metaphor that are currently in need of clarification.

To this end, the first part of this thesis is concerned with the establishment
of a reliable method for the identification of deliberate metaphor in language
use. In the second part, the manifestation of deliberate metaphor in natural
language use is described from both a quantitative, corpus-analytical
perspective, as well as from a qualitative perspective. Finally, the third
part of this thesis examines the effects of deliberate metaphor on reasoning.
Together, the studies carried out in this thesis demonstrate the value of
deliberate metaphor, adding to the growing body of research on the role of
metaphor as metaphor in communication.
