Cognitive Semiotics, 2009
Abstract Contrary to what is assumed in Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT), the conceptual power of metaphor may not lie in its widespread unconscious use but in its more limited and targeted deliberate use, which may or may not give rise to conscious metaphorical cognition.

Does Deliberate Metaphor Theory Have a Future?

Journal of Pragmatics, 2015
Does deliberate metaphor theory (DMT) have a future within the interdisciplinary world of metaphor scholarship?

Metaphor and the Social World, 2012

Developing, testing and interpreting Deliberate Metaphor Theory

Journal of Pragmatics, 2015
The idea that there is a distinction between the deliberate and non-deliberate use of metaphor is controversial(e.g., Gibbs, 2011; Charteris-Black, 2012). According to the dominant view of metaphor, metaphor works automaticallyandunconsciously(e.g.,Gibbs,2008).Asaresult,deliberatemetaphorusesoundslikeanimpossibility,a‘vacuousidea’even (Gibbs, 2011 ...
