Abstract
Abstract Given all the various strands of research on metaphor that has been surveyed in this book, it seems reasonable to distinguish three levels of metaphor: (1) the “supraindividual” level, (2) the individual level, and (3) the “subindividual” level. Each conceptual metaphor can be analyzed on these levels. Most of the research in cognitive linguistics takes place on and is directed at one or several of these levels. In this brief final chapter, I’ll try to bring together the many threads of research in cognitive linguistics on metaphor into a coherent picture, whose coherence seems to derive from the three interrelated levels, or aspects, of metaphor.
