It highlights the irony that while metaphor exemplifies the value of contextual understanding, it is often studied in isolation from other figurative language forms.

Additionally, the article critiques dominant metaphors used in metaphor research, proposing alternative frameworks that may offer a more nuanced comprehension of figurative language processing. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
