Abstract

Metaphor is neither noise nor ornament. It is shown that philosophers as Aristotle and Hegel display metaphor in dealing with metaphor, intrinsically, in definitions and descriptions. Metaphor, thus, is not mere substitution of verba impropria for verba propria but mapping between coexisting semantic domains as suggested by G. Lakoff. Metaphor is pervasive in everyday thinking - and in scientific discourse as well, when confronted with terra nova: Concepts »burrowed« from existing, developed disciplines may, projected on lesser wellstructured research areas, function
as models establishing formal analogy or isomorfism between model and research object.
