   Does mixed metaphor dominantly occur across clause boundaries?

   • The fact that in newspaper commentaries mixed metaphor dominantly occurs across clause boundaries elegantly explains my earlier findings (although I will look at other cases below).

   Are mixed metaphors a natural product of default clause processing?

   • Where mixed metaphors occur across clauses no ontological clashes will be felt to begin with and secondary mechanisms to keep the clash at bay are dispensable. If this is correct, making sense of mixed metaphors is a natural by- product of default clause processing.
