• Description:
  Our aim in this article is to describe some of the important ways to look for metaphor in language, thought, and experience. An important part of our message is that scholars should respect the admonition to carefully examine particular concepts and domains of experience to determine what parts of these may, and may not be, metaphorical. We provide a brief overview of several case studies, from a wide variety of domains, that show the importance of metaphorical thought in people’s ordinary conceptualizations of their activities, their language, and their understanding of other people and objects in the real-world. In each case, we note some of the skeptical responses to the idea that metaphor influences people’s conceptualizations of some domain of experience. We then go on to show how researchers have looked for metaphor in thought, language, and embodied action.
