History of metaphors
The idea of metaphor can be traced back to
Aristotle who, in his “Poetics” (around 335 BC), defines
“metaphor” as follows: “Metaphor is the application of
a strange term either transferred from the genus and
applied to the species or from the species and applied
to the genus, or from one species to another or else by
analogy.” For the sake of clarity and comprehension it
might additionally be useful to quote the following two
alternative translations: as Halliwell puts it in his
translation: “Metaphor is the application of a word
that belongs to another thing: either from genus to
species, species to genus, species to species, or by
analogy.”

WHAT`S THE
DEFINITION OF
METAPHOR???

4.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
A metaphor is an analogy between two objects or ideas; the analogy is
conveyed by the use of a metaphorical word in place of some other word.
From the next definition:
Metaphor roughly means “to transfer”. They transfer meaning by using a
term to describe something else .
From English Collins Dictionary:
A metaphor is an imaginative way of describing something by referring to
something else which is the same in a particular way.

Absolute metaphor
Examples
I am the dog end of every day.
Description
An absolute metaphor is one where there is absolutely no
connection between the subject and the metaphor.

9.

Active metaphor
Examples
Let me compare thee to an artic day, sharp and bright,
forever light... (You are wonderful.)
It's been a purple dinosaur of a day. (It is a stupid moment of
a day.)
Description
An active metaphor is one which is relatively new and hence
is not necessarily apparent to all listeners, although if the
metaphor is well-selected, it will be easy enough to
understand.

Complex metaphor
Examples
That lends weight to the argument. -That make the
argument more important
They stood alone, frozen statues on the plain. -They stood
alone, keeping unmoved
The ball happily danced into the net. -The goal was
scored.
Description
A complex metaphor happens where a simple metaphor is
base on a secondary metaphoric element.

11.

Dead metaphor
Examples
Money was so called because it was first minted at the temple
Juno Moneta.
The origin of 'the whole nine yards' seems unknown, even to an
expert word website.
Description
A dead metaphor occurs where the once-evocative
transferred image is no longer effective or even understood,
perhaps being lost in time.

12.

Dying metaphor
Examples
New era business is a whole different ball game.
Thanks -- that's just the ticket, old chap. I'm over the
moon about it.
Description
A dying metaphor is one which has become so over-used,
it is considered unfashionable or lacking in eloquence to
use it.

13.

Extended metaphor
Examples
All the world's a stage and men and women merely
players.
Let me count my loves of thee, my rose garden, my
heart, my fixed mark, my beginning and my end.
Description
An extended metaphor is one where there is a single
main subject to which additional subjects and metaphors
are applied.
The extended metaphor may act as a central theme, for
example where it is used as the primary vehicle of a
poem and is used repeatedly and in different forms.

14.

Implicit metaphor
Examples
Roasting today!  (It’s so hot today!)
She had the screaming.
We were drinking the white.
Description
In an implicit metaphor, the full subject is
not explained, but is implied from the
context of the sentence.

15.

Pataphor
Examples
Panting hard, he hand-braked the corner, power-sliding
into the doorway. [running as driving]
Noisy twinkling in the night, the shares blew hypnotic
shards of brilliance down on the hopeful investors.
[Share price movement as a sky-rocket firework]
Description
The pataphor is an extreme form of metaphor, taking
the principle to its limit, where the basic metaphor is
typically not mentioned but extensions to it are used
without reference.

16.

Root metaphor
Examples
Winning the argument. (argument as
war)
Time is money.
Life as journey.
Description
A root metaphor is one which is so
embedded within a language or culture
that it is often not realized as being a
metaphor.

17.

Simple metaphor
Examples
Cool down!
He was mad.
I'll chew on it. 
Description
A simple metaphor has a single link
between the subject and the
metaphoric vehicle. The vehicle thus
has a single meaning which is
transferred directly to the subject.

18.

Synechdochic metaphor
Examples
I like your wheels, man! [wheels = car]
Nice bit of skirt. [skirt = woman]
Try this nib. [nib = pen]
Description
The synechdochic metaphor is one where
a small part or element of something is
used to represent the whole.
