More about the book
This book explores the functions of metaphors, emphasizing their evaluation based on context. It identifies three main functions: illustrative, heuristic, and constitutive. Illustrative metaphors enhance arguments, heuristic metaphors open new perspectives, and constitutive metaphors replace old meanings. The distinction between transfer and transformation is also discussed.
