   Are metaphors Universal?

   • If some metaphors are universal, as I think some are, then we cannot neatly divide the human world into “bounded entity–like” cultures that exclude each other because the universal metaphors point to an “overarching,” or “underlying,” layer of cultural experience – over and above the metaphors that may be culture-specific.

   • Geary says that metaphors are found, like a fossil, in “any of the words we use to convey meaning, complexity and substance… either on the surface or if you dig into the etymology… we tend to think of metaphor as a way with words, but it’s actually a way of thought.”

   Why do metaphors vary from culture to culture?

   • First, metaphor variation is produced essentially by three forces: divergences in the resemblances observed, contextual influence, and different elaborations of higher level metaphors. Second, even universal metaphors can vary from culture to culture or individual to individual.
