Subject: Quantifying metaphors
I recently posted a query on the linguist list regarding the
quantification and categorisation of figurative language. I was
particularly interested in metaphor. I would like to thank the
following people for their responses:

Andrew Rosta
George Elgin
Suzette Haden Elgin
Tim Clausner
Carrasquel Debus
