Sažetak
The basic theme of Metaphors: Figures of the Mind is contained in the formula that metaphoric language reflects the functioning of our thought processes. thus, the author of this book uses language analysis as a medium through wich we can perceive and analyze the way our mind functions. Metaphor emerges as a cognitive tool. It appears as an efficacious means of description and explanation, of heuristics and learning, and as a final instance, an instrument of 'worldmaking'.
