- The paper explores the phenomenon of metaphors that occur in close textual adjacency, i.e. as metaphor clusters, but do not share a similar cognitive basis. Clusters frequently mix ontologies and are thus devoid of coherence that can be explained as emerging from a single conceptual metaphor.

At a macro-level, clusters at the beginning of a text actualize the ideational function of metaphor by introducing the topic as defined by a particular metaphor. Such an initial cognitive representation helps to "set the agenda" the author has in mind when writing the text.

The paper aims to explore the dynamics of a metaphor cluster by assessing the levels of metaphoricity, familiarity, contextual aptness, and importance for text comprehension for each of the individual metaphorical expressions from the cluster.

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.

Feb 16, 2007 · This paper presents an innovative visualisation methodology for identifying and exploring metaphor clusters, comparing it to existing methods that use cumulative frequency graphs and Poisson curve fitting, and addressing issues that arise from these.
Dec 19, 2021 · The widespread and intriguing phenomenon where speakers or writers suddenly produce multiple metaphors in close proximity in texts or discourses has been defined as the pattern of metaphor clustering or metaphor clusters (Cameron and Stelma, 2004; Semino, 2008).
Dec 1, 2003 · The paper closes by summarizing the main insights along the lines of the three Hallidayan meta-functions of conceptual metaphor and suggesting functional analysis of metaphor at levels beyond that of text.
