DMIP: A Method for Identifying Potentially Deliberate Metaphor in Language Use (2018, methodology): “In DMT, a distinction is consequently made between thoughts, the words that are used to express those thoughts, and the persons, things, actions, or events in the (text) world that the words refer to (referents).5 Such a three-dimensional model may be new to metaphor studies, but it is compatible wi”
The Effects of Metaphorical Framing on Political Persuasion: A Systematic Literature Review (2017, background): “However, ideas about how metaphors impact people have changed over time (e.g., Steen, 2008).”
Deliberate Metaphor Theory: Basic assumptions, main tenets, urgent issues (2017, background): “…contribution, the connection between categorization and consciousness is not made for the above reason, while the work by Glucksberg on categorization itself has been presented as one source of inspiration for DMT (Steen 2008) and its interest in variation in metaphor processing in language use.”
Descriptions of Pain, Metaphor, and Embodied Simulation (2010, background): “Steen (2008 ) builds on the work by Gentner and Bowdle in particular in order to distinguish between “deliberate” metaphors, that are processed via some form of comparison involving a cross-domain mapping, and “nondeliberate” metaphors, that are not.”
Abstract concepts: sensory-motor grounding, metaphors, and beyond (2011, background): “Another important difference between novel and conventional metaphors is that novel metaphors may be used deliberately by the speaker in order to force the listener to see a concept in a new perspective, whereas conventional metaphors do not have this communicative goal (Steen, 2008).”
Deliberate Metaphor Affords Conscious Metaphorical Cognition (2009, background): “Over the past decade, a number of discourse analysts have inspected this claim critically and drawn attention to deliberate metaphor (e.g., Cameron 2003; Goddard 2004; Charteris-Black 2004; Müller 2008; Semino 2008; Steen 2008, 2010, 2011a; cf. Gibbs 2011).”
