The notion of 'real world' metaphor research has been developed to describe this important area of… read more[Human Cognitive Processing, 26] 2010. xii, 385 pp.
Confronting Metaphor in Use: An applied linguistic approach
Edited by Mara Sophia Zanotto, Lynne Cameron and Marilda C. Cavalcanti
It is timely for researchers to approach metaphor as social and situated, as a matter of language and discourse, and not just as a matter of thought.

2016 Chapter 2. Mixed metaphors from a discourse dynamics perspective: A non-issue? Mixing Metaphor, Gibbs, Jr., Raymond W. (ed.), pp. 17–30 | Article

In this chapter, I discuss a phenomenon observed on the shifting borders of metaphor that I have called ‘physical-and-speech action’ expressions. These expressions combine a physical action verb with a prepositional particle and a speech action verb: stand up and declare, turn round and say, sit… read more
