Jump (1969-1976) - 25 Metaphor - This book attempts to establish the nature of what is ususally taken to be the most fundamental feature of imaginative language if not of all language. Metaphor the principle of the tranference of aspects of one object to another object so that the second object may be spoken of as if it were the first seems to lie at the heart of the communicative process. It has been said to be the way language works. Dr. Hawkes' account has a considerable range beginning with Aristotle and ending with the work of modern linguists and anthropologists.
