ref: 2001, Linda Woodbridge, Vagrancy, Homelessness, and English Renaissance Literature, page 20:
text: The exciting thing is that this mental process of 'funnification' applies to stuff in familiar comic forms (a clever satirical takedown of a politician we dislike, a succinct and recognisable nailing of an everyday experience, an ingenious pun, a neat turn of phrase, a precisely observed parody), but also to mad stuff that makes us laugh like drains, but which we cannot immediately explain.

ref: 1929 June, Dorothy M[iller] Richardson, “Continuous Performance: Almost Persuaded”, in K[enneth] Macpherson, Bryher [pseudonym; Annie Winifred Ellerman], editors, Close Up: The Only Magazine Devoted to Films as an Art, volume IV, number 6, London: Pool, page 34:
text: But once again there came this strange surprise that the emitters stood all around me. I was not receiving from any one direction, but from all directions. Though once again, direction is too physical a word. I was having feelings that no language based on concrete physical objects, on actual feeling, can describe. I think I was aware of the metaphoricality of what I felt. I knew words were like chains, they held me back; and like walls with holes in them.
ref: 1965, John Fowles, The Magus, Boston, Mass.; Toronto, Ont.: Little, Brown and Company, →OCLC, page 227:
text: In recent years, however, abundant evidence has been advanced in support of the idea that metaphoricality is no exoticism in the garden of language but a widespread indigenous part of the flora. Everyday language itself is riddled with metaphors, albeit often rather faded or worn ones.

metaphoricness
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Etymology: From metaphoric + -ness.
Senses: examples: text: In time, the irrational refusal to accept the reality of an other-controlled existence ends in the pseudoschizophrenic posture, in which the offended but innocent self-styled victim complains, “I am damned if I do, and I am damned if I don’t.” This double bind – as Gregory Bateson and his colleagues call it – is characterized by the most hopeless confusion of literalness and metaphoricness. Like the schizophrenic patient, the embattled and confined and angry and anxious part, persisting in his metaphorical identity with the collective good, seems doomed to some permanent rupture with reality.
ref: 1961, Paul Meadows, “[Agrarian Virtue and Republican Freedom: An Historical Perspective] Discussion”, in Goals and Values in Agricultural Policy, Ames, Ia.: Iowa State University Press, →LCCN, page 65:
text: [Roman] Jakobson himself showed long ago that the supposedly indispensable criterion of poetry, “metaphoricness,” can, on occasion, be dispensed with or can be replaced by metonymic relations, grammatical echoes, and contrasts.
ref: 1970, René Wellek, “Stylistics, Poetics, and Criticism”, in Discriminations: Further Concepts of Criticism, New Haven, Conn.; London: Yale University Press, →ISBN, page 341:
text: In this section, Weinreich planned to deal with the concept of metaphoricness as a variable. His notes show that he regarded the degree of metaphoricness in an utterance as reflecting differences of intent. He saw the speaker in possession of considerable control over the degree of this variable, arguing that “there are no synchronically dead metaphors; no lexicographically listable metaphors.”
ref: 1980, William Labov, Beatrice S. Weinreich, “[Dictionaries of the Future: A Set of Parameters for Descriptive Semantics] Metaphoricness”, in Uriel Weinreich, On Semantics, [Philadelphia, Pa.]: University of Pennsylvania Press, →ISBN, part III (Lexicography), page 287:
text: If now we put together the syntagmatic principle, of metaphors occurring in syndromes and the paradigmatic principle of an ordered series of metaphorical steps, we can see that the two axes together define a semantic space, within which metaphoric variation in the grammar creates its meaning. It is a highly elastic space, with enormous semogenic potential. For any given instance, there are not simply two alternative wordings, one congruent, the other metaphorical (the Doric and the Attic that I started with), but rather a range over different degrees of metaphoricness, which moreover may be spread quite unevenly across the syndrome.

Senses: examples: text: The Ground Zero mosque was a scissor statement that divided Americans.
text: Brexit, by its nature, was a perfect scissor statement for almost everyone in the UK: the population was split into ‘Leavers’ and ‘Remainers’, and mutual outrage at the beliefs and actions of the other side became commonplace, as did personal abuse.
