metaphor

Bansi Kara shared a Guardian story from today headlined Metaphor map charts the images that structure our thinking.

It’s about a wild-looking Glasgow University project that has mapped “metaphoric connections” over the past 1,300 years (yes, that’s one thousand three hundred years).

I haven’t quite figured out how to use it, and nor have I figured out its practical purpose, but I suspect the former might have something to do with the latter.

If you have better luck, please let me know.

I’m adding this post to The Best “Language Maps.”
