Argument Is War–Or is it a Game of Chess?

Multiple Meanings in the Analysis of Implicit Metaphors

David Ritchie

Metaphor and Symbol, 18(2), 125-146.

Abstract

Both Lakoff and Johnson (1980) and Vervaeke and Kennedy (1996), in their critique of Lakoff and Johnson, draw narrowly from a broad range of reasonable interpretations of the metaphors they analyze. Expanding the interpretations vitiates many of Vervaeke and Kennedy’s criticisms, but it supports their call for an open interpretation of groups of metaphors, and points toward a more complex elaboration of the theories put forth by Lakoff and his colleagues.
