Beyond Visual Metaphor: A New Typology of Visual Rhetoric in Advertising (2004, background): “When two images share structural similarities, inferences can be drawn based on relational matching (see Gentner et al. [2001] regarding verbal metaphor).”
Moving Forward: Developing Theoretical Contributions in Management Studies (2014, background): “…metaphors, thus principally function as a way of seeing relationships between conceptual frames and of conceptualizing and understanding a particular subject in terms traditionally associated with another subject or domain of knowledge (Gentner et al., 2001; Lakoff and Johnson, 1980, 1999).”
A Naturalistic Exploration of Forms and Functions of Analogizing (2009, background): “There is no clear empirical evidence—there never really has been—for the premise that analogy underlies metaphor (see Gentner, Bowdle, Wolff, & Boronat, 2001 ) or that proverbs are analogies because they too reduce to relational similarity ( Markman, Taylor, & Gentner, 2007 ; for an alternative vie”
Discourse metaphors: The link between figurative language and habitual analogies (2007, methodology): “I use both terms interchangeably in this article, treating the kind of metaphor I focus on as a subtype of analogy, see Gentner et al. (2001).”
Metaphors We Think With: The Role of Metaphor in Reasoning (2011, background): “A further question is how such knowledge structures for thinking about crime emerge? How do people build virus-like or beast-like representations of crime and what is the role of linguistic metaphor in encouraging the construction of such knowledge structures?

Literal and Metaphorical Sense Identification through Concrete and Abstract Context (2011, background): “Metaphor is a natural consequence of our ability to reason by analogy (Gentner et al., 2001).”
Similarity of Semantic Relations (2006, background): “Gentner et al. (2001) argue that novelmetaphors are understood using analogy, but conventional metaphors are simply recalled from memory. A conventional metaphor is a metaphor that has become entrenched in our language (Lakoff and Johnson 1980). Dolan (1995) describes an algorithm that can recognize”
Metaphorical images of organization: How organizational researchers develop and select organizational metaphors (2005, methodology): “This first governing rule, related to the relational heuristic, is based upon the evidence (see Gentner & Clement, 1988; Gentner et al., 2001) that there is a marked difference between the effect of an attributive metaphor (which may provide conceptual clarification and frameworks through perceived…”
