Conceptual metaphor

Metaphor

1. Traditional view

Aristotle’s comparison theory

Metaphor is a figure of speech which uses the name of one thing to refer to another. The essence of metaphor is using one word to substitute for another to express the same meaning, and there is a kind of comparison between the two words. Aristotle?s a metaphor A is B can be interpreted as A is like B in regard to C.

Quintilian’s Substitution theory

Metaphor is a figure of speech being a rhetorical substitution of literal expression.. For example, in “John is a lion”, the rhetoric lion is used to replace the literal expression “a courageous man”. For the subject A, there can be both metaphorical and literal description B and C, so that a metaphorical sentence A is B can be reduced to A is C, in which C has substituted B.
