   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.

   Mar 18, 2016 · This chapter examines the metaphors used by speakers of English as a second language (L2), showing how these are often the result of the mixing of two linguistic and conceptual systems. The resulting “hybrid” metaphors may be unconventional in English and therefore seen as problems in need of remedy.

   May 23, 2024 · Many times, a mixed metaphor occurs due to the imagery in the metaphor being extended with language that does not support the initial metaphor. “He slithered through the room,” seems to indicate that a man is acting like a snake, using the man and snake to create the initial metaphor.

   Is mixed metaphor awkward language usage?

   • This challenges the view of mixed metaphor as awkward language usage. I argue that mixing works because metaphors are typically embedded in separate clauses situated at different temporal, causal, speaker, or belief-related conceptual planes.

   What is a mixed metaphor?

   • A mixed metaphor usually results from too many ideas being used together — “her eyes were stars floating on a soft breeze” — or from a single metaphor being extended out in a way that ultimately corrupts the image — “that man is a dog, slithering about and hissing.”

   • 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. Mixed metaphors like these have traditionally posed a challenge to theorists.

   Does mixing a metaphor work?

   • I argue that mixing works because metaphors are typically embedded in separate clauses situated at different temporal, causal, speaker, or belief-related conceptual planes. By consequence, no strong joint processing pressure arises that could result in a perceived clash of metaphorical imagery.

   Are there mixed metaphors in a single clause?

   • Mixed metaphors in a single clause The one remaining case to address are mixed metaphors within a single clause, even if this is not quite as frequent. Here, nothing in grammar sets the ontological planes apart so that the cognitive pressure to process the metaphors together is higher.

   Are mixed metaphors in newspaper commentaries incoherent?

   • As the examples have demonstrated, mixed metaphors in newspaper commentaries cannot usually be put down to incoherent or out of the ordinary argumentation patterns. This brings a purely metaphor-based analysis of argumentation to certain limits and calls for new theoretical tools.
