“…The distinction is principled in the sense that the literal meaning plays a necessary role in shaping figurative meaning. Second, unlike idioms (e.g., "spill the beans"), whose meanings are primarily understood via their conventional uses, proverbs can be comprehended even when they are completely unfamiliar (Honeck & Temple, 1994). Because familiarity has been shown to facilitate speed of proverb comprehension (Case, 1991;Turner & Katz, 1990), the ability to manipulate this variable by using novel proverbs is extremely valuable.…”

“…Although rejected as the intended meaning, the literal meaning is nevertheless used to help build a figurative meaning (Searle, 1979).

“…Cognitive linguists [Lakoff & Turner 1989] argue that the same cognitive mechanism supposedly unites the process of creating proverbs. Proverbs have a common origin in cognitive processes speakers use to formulate and disseminate them, a trait highlighted in the great chain metaphor theory (GCMT) [Honeck & Temple 1994, cited in Moreno 2005. The basic Great Chain concerns the relation of human beings to lower forms of existence; likewise all networks of life and universe exist accordingly to the law of symmetry in nature and mind.…”

“…A more fundamental issue is whether these structures are inherently metaphorical as Gibbs (1994) and his colleagues claim, or whether nonmetaphorical structures and inferential processes will suffice as others have claimed (e.g., Glucksberg, Brown, & McGlone, 1993;Honeck & Temple, 1994).…”

“…Gibbs's position is quite controversial and has led to a vigorous debate in the literature (e.g., Gibbs, 1992;Gibbs & Nayak, 1991;Glucksberg, Keysar, & McGlone, 1992;Honeck & Temple 1994;Kreuz and Graesser, 1991). An elegant experimental rebuttal is provided by Glucksberg et al (1993).…”
