   Jan 1, 2010 · The metaphors satisfy the two basic conditions for mixed metaphor: (1) they occur in textual adjacency, i.e. within a single metaphor cluster, and (2) they do not (for the most part) share any imagistic ontology or any direct inferential entailments between them.

   Why is there no imagistic relation between metaphors?

   • Because of the two separate clauses no imagistic relation between the metaphors is invited. The connector ‘‘while’’ prompts a processing of the clauses and their metaphors as parts of a difference relation. Hence, in terms of an integrative processing of the metaphor ontologies little pressure is present.

Metaphor clusters fulfill three kinds of functions.
