Abstract concepts: sensory-motor grounding, metaphors, and beyond (2011, background): “Keysar et al. (2000) found that processing of sentences containing expressions of metaphorical mappings (e.g., the journey should not last too long for the metaphor argument is a journey) was not facilitated by earlier conventional expressions of the same metaphorical mapping (e.g., point out your…”
Productive figurative communication: Conventional metaphors facilitate the comprehension of related novel metaphors (2008, methodology): “In Keysar et al.
