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:

Daniel Currie Hall Andrew Rosta George Elgin Suzette Haden Elgin Tim Clausner Carrasquel Debus

A list of the recommended sources regarding metaphor follows:

Clausner, T.C., & Croft, W. (1997). "Productivity and schematicity in metaphors." Cognitive Science, 21(3), pp. 247- 282.

Jakobson, Roman. 1956. "Two Aspects of Language and Two Types of Aphasic Disturbances." In Jakobson, Roman, and Morris Halle, Fundamentals of Language_, pp. 55-82. The Hague: Mouton.

Lakoff, George, and Mark Johnson. 1980. Metaphors we live by.

Lakoff, George. 1987. Women, Fire and Dangerous things: What categories reveal about the mind.

Many thanks,
