Abstract
A survey of four influential theories of metaphor in the philosophy of language simile theories (e.g. Fogelin), interaction theories (e.g. Black), Gricean theories (e.g. Searle), and noncognitivist theories (e.g. Davidson) in terms of their answers to four central questions: What are metaphors? What is metaphorical meaning? How do metaphors work? And what is the nature of metaphorical truth?Author Profiles
