DESCRIPTION:Prof. Dr. Burkhard Niederhoff (Chair of English Literature\, R
 UB)\n"Tenor and Vehicle\, Source and Target? Against Dualism in Metaphor T
 heory"\n\nAlmost ninety years ago\, I. A. Richards introduced two related 
 terms that are still widely used in the theory and analysis of metaphor: t
 enor and vehicle. Other theorists have followed suit and suggested termino
 logical pairs whose meaning is very similar: primary subject/frame and sec
 ondary subject/focus (Max Black)\, Bildspender and Bildempfänger (H. Wein
 rich)\, target and source (G. Lakoff). All of these suggest that a metapho
 r consists in a symmetrical pairing of concepts. In my talk\, I will argue
  against this dualism. I will present a range of metaphors\, primarily fro
 m English poetry\, that cannot be adequately analysed in dualist terms\, a
 nd I will point out some of the theoretical problems inherent in dualism\,
  for instance its indebtedness to the substitution and resemblance theorie
 s of metaphor.\n\n
