There is a great deal of experimental work on the nature of metaphor processing (see Gibbs and Tendahl 2006for a review). In particular, quite some effort has been devoted to exploring the issue of whether metaphor processing is cognitively costly, and whether the conventional or novel nature of metaphors influences processing effort. Noveck et al....
Extended metaphors are realised in discourse through the recurring exploitation of the same metaphor at several conceptual levels over a relatively long span of text. Their interpretation, in those cases, can accordingly be seen as an incremental process which gradually enriches the representation as different properties of the source domain succes...
2.3.1 Metaphor in Argumentation Theory
Literature on the role of metaphor in argumentation is not very extensive (see Santibáñez 2010). As far as modern-day argumentation theory is concerned, Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca (2008[1958]) are probably among the researchers who addressed the issue of metaphor in most detail in the twentieth century. Their account of metaphor within argumentation is formulated along the lines of arguments by analogy, thereby making ‘argumentative’ metaphors a subtype of arguments establishing the struct...
2.3.2 Extended Metaphors as Argumentative Devices: A Cognitive TakeFootnote 7
In Sect. 2.2we have evoked how extended metaphors are inherently discursive, insofar as they set up a core metaphorical construal and exploit it throughout discourse. Such a discursive structure in our view makes for an argumentative exploitation. The main idea behind our argumentative account of extended metaphors is that they are ideally suited, both discursively and cognitively, to provide an argumentative structure where the initial metaphorical construal becomes a standpoint, while the v...
2.3.3 Extended Metaphors as Conceptual Argumentations: Epistemic Issues
Extended metaphors require the addressee to assess different aspects of the same metaphorical mapping within the same text and can in principle be exploited to strengthen the perceived relevance of the construal in a specific way, i.e., by achieving a ‘de-metaphorisation’ of the initial metaphor. The relationship between each occurrence of a particular conceptual mapping of properties between source and target domain and the extended metaphor as a whole can thus be seen as one of argumentativ...

Jun 20, 2020 · This paper offers a review of the argumentation-theoretical literature on metaphor in argumentative discourse. Two methodologies are combined: the pragma-dialectical theory is used to study the argumentative functions attributed to metaphor, and distinctions made in metaphor theory and the three-dimensional model of metaphor are used to compare the conceptions of metaphor taken as starting ...

At the heart of these claims is the idea that metaphors both reflect underlying conceptual structures and processes and shape how people think. Studying metaphor can there-fore lead to a better understanding of the relationship between language and thought (Gibbs, 1994; Lakoff & Johnson, 1980, 1999).
