   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.

   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 mixed metaphors imagistic?

   • 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.

   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.
