Metaphor and Grammatical Deviance
Noûs, 1983One of the oldest, and most tenacious, dogmas about metaphor is the thesis of grammatical deviance (GD): the thesis that a string of expressions will be recognized and interpreted as a metaphor only if, were it interpreted literally, it would be grammatically deviant, semantically anomalous, explicitly or implicitly self-contradictory, conceptually ...

Grammatical metaphors and there-insertion in Danish
2014Transitive verbs are in general not allowed in there-constructions in Danish, but a small subset is, and this paper gives an explanation. We suggest two constraints on there-insertion, a subject with the semantic role of themeand an empty object position, and show how the subset of verbs meets these constraints while other transitives do not.
