ABSTRACT
In an attempt to explore questions of interconnections between heterogeneous domains we could initially invoke Davidson’s view of metaphor. He basically indicates that metaphoric language consists of a special use of literal meanings aimed to intimate or suggest something that might otherwise be ignored;1 a ‘something’ that comes to ‘exist’ because a certain language generates it. And as Cavell notes, Davidson’s account has the virtue of linking the verbal to the nonverbal arts2-two non-homogeneous modes of human ingenuity.
