Primes

• Metaphor
  • Where rhetoric treated metaphor as a stylistic choice, cognitive linguistics treats it as the fundamental scaffold for abstract reasoning
• Metaphor (Visual/Artistic)
  • A common failure is assuming that translating visual metaphor into words captures the metaphor's meaning, or conversely, treating visual metaphor as entirely inexpressible in language, preventing interpretive engagement, a tension Mitchell (1994) addresses in Picture Theory on the relation between image and word, and Black (1962) treats philosophically in his interaction view of metaphor.

Domain-specific

• Simile
  • Black Models and Metaphors 1962, extended in metaphor scholarship (CROSS-DP-23 metaphor).

    Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract

    Confirms Black's Models and Metaphors (Cornell UP, 1962) as a real work of language/philosophy essays, but the abstract never mentions metaphor, so its role in metaphor scholarship is not established here.

    “Although the range is wide (philosophy of language, logic, philosophy of science) in this collection of essays, there is a certain unity of treatment arising from the author's steady interest in using "linguistic analysis" to cast some new light on old problems, such as the nature of logic, causation, and induction.”

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 3 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
