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.
