There is debate among literary scholars whether so called dead metaphors are dead or are metaphors. Literary scholar R.W. Gibbs noted that for a metaphor to be dead, it would necessarily lose the metaphorical qualities that it comprises. These qualities, however, still remain. A person can understand the expression falling head over heels in love even if they have never encountered that variant of the phrase falling in love. Analytic philosophy Analytic philosopher Max Black argued that the deadmetaphor should not be considered a metaphor at all, but rather classified as a separate vocabulary item. ref name Travers cite web url http alumni.media.mit.edu mt thesis mt thesis.html title Programming with Agents accessdate 2009 12 08 last Travers first Michael David date 1996 06 publisher ... up the earth with a plow, then the idea of a car ploughing through traffic would clearly be a metaphor ... examples of dead metaphors in the English language.

File Cassandra1.jpeg thumb 200px Painting of Cassandra by Evelyn De Morgan The Cassandra metaphor variously labelled the Cassandra syndrome , complex , phenomenon , predicament , dilemma , or curse , is a term applied in situations in which valid warnings or concerns are dismissed or disbelieved. The term originates in Greek mythology . Cassandra was a daughter of Priam , the King of Troy . Struck by her beauty, Apollo provided her with the gift of prophecy , but when Cassandra refused Apollo s romantic advances, he placed a curse ensuring that nobody would believe her warnings. Cassandra was left with the knowledge of future events, but could neither alter these events nor convince others of the validity of her predictions. The metaphor has been applied in a variety of contexts such as psychology, environmentalism, politics, science, cinema, the corporate world, and in philosophy, and has been in circulation since at least 1949 when French philosopher Gaston Bachelard coined the term Cassandra Complex to refer to a belief that things could be known in advance. ref Bachelard, Gaston, Le Rationalisme appliqu PUF, Paris, 1949 ref Usage Psychology The Cassandra metaphor is applied by some psychologists to individuals who experience physical and emotional suffering as a result of distressing personal perceptions, and who are disbelieved when they attempt to share the cause of their suffering ...

Refimprove date August 2011 An Interface metaphor is a set of user interface visuals, actions and procedures that exploit specific knowledge that users already have of other domains. The purpose of the interface metaphor is to give the user instantaneous knowledge about how to interact with the user interface. They are designed to be similar to physical entities but also have their own properties e.g., desktop metaphor and web portal s . They can be based on an activity, an object, or a combination of both and work with User computing users familiar knowledge to help them understand the unfamiliar, and placed in terms the user may better understand. An example of an interface metaphor is the folders and the file cabinet representation of the file system of an operating system. Another example is the tree view representation of a file system, as in a file manager , that helps a user to use it, given some previous knowledge of recursion recursive structures.

Please see WP PAREN for more information. Illness as Metaphor is a nonfiction work written by Susan Sontag and published in 1978. She challenged the blame the victim mentality behind the language society often uses to describe disease s and those who suffer from them. Drawing out the similarities between public perspectives on cancer the paradigmatic disease of the 20th century before the appearance of AIDS , and tuberculosis the symbolic illness of the 19th century , Sontag shows that both diseases were associated with personal psychological traits. In particular, she says that the metaphor s and terms used to describe both syndromes lead to an association between repressed passion and the physical disease itself. She notes the peculiar reversal that With the modern diseases once TB, now cancer , the romantic idea that the disease expresses the character is invariably extended to assert that the character causes the disease because it has not expressed itself. Passion moves inward, striking and blighting the deepest cellular recesses. Sontag says that the clearest and most truthful way of thinking about diseases is without recourse to metaphor.

Platonism Plato , in Plato s Republic The Republic 507b 509c book VI , uses the sun as a metaphor for the source of illumination , arguably intellectual illumination, which he held to be The Form of the Good , which is sometimes interpreted as Plato s notion of God . The metaphor is about the nature of ultimate reality and how knowledge is acquired concerning it. Socrates is the speaker of The Republic, but it is generally believed that the thoughts expressed are Plato s. The eye, Plato says, is unusual among the sense organs in that it needs a medium, namely light , in order to operate. The strongest and best source of light is the sun with it, objects can be discerned clearly. Analogous things, he writes, can be said of intelligible objects i.e., the fixed and eternal forms that are the ultimate objects of scientific and philosophical study When the soul is firmly fixed on the domain where truth and reality shine resplendent it apprehends and knows them and appears to possess reason, but when it inclines to that region which is mingled with darkness, the world of becoming and passing away, it opines only and its edge is blunted, and it shifts its opinions hither and thither, and again seems as if it lacked reason. The Republic bk. VI, 508d trans. Paul Shorey By the world of becoming and passing away Plato means the familiar visual or perceptual world we see around us. Thus if we attempt to understand why things are as they are, and what general categories can be used to understand various particulars around us, without reference to any forms universal metaphysics universal s , we will fail completely, as if we lacked reason . By contrast, the domain where truth and reality shine resplendent is none other than Plato s world of forms illuminated by the highest of the forms, that of the Good. Since true being resides in the world of the forms, we must direct our intellects ..., the metaphor of the sun exemplifies a traditional interrelation between metaphysics and epistemology ... more details
