ABSTRACT

Practical 11 Tutor notes This chapter is intellectually quite challenging. The important thing is that students grasp the basics: the notions of topic, vehicle and grounds; the division between lexicalized and non-Iexicalized metaphors; the subdivisions between dead, stock and recent metaphors, and between conventionalized and original metaphors. The tutor should not get overinvolved in the minutiae of metaphor translation techniques; as long as the basics are fully grasped, students can come back to the more detailed issues of classification when they are doing the practicals, or when they need to later in the course.
