《隐喻与符号》特刊中对论文进行了评论，题为“概念隐喻的跨文化差异：应用语言学视角”。阐述了概念隐喻理论中设想的隐喻的 10 个组成部分，并强调了作者提出的两个问题。 (1)概念隐喻与隐喻表达之间关系的复杂性在跨语言上被图解为具有相同比喻意义、相同与不同字面含义以及表达相同与不同概念隐喻的不同词形。 (2) G. Lakoff & M. Johnson (1980) 给出的概念隐喻“爱是一段旅程”的 13 个美式英语例子的匈牙利语版本体现了文化在隐喻使用中的重要性；这些翻译是与说英语的匈牙利大学生（N = 20）合作编写的，并附有广泛的评论。
Commentary is provided on essays in a special issue of Metaphor and Symbol titled "Cross-Cultural Differences in Conceptual Metaphor: Applied Linguistics Perspectives." The 10 components of metaphor envisioned in conceptual metaphor theory are explicated, & two issues raised by authors are highlighted. (1) The complexity of the relation between conceptual metaphors & metaphoric expressions is schematized cross-linguistically in terms of different word forms that have the same figurative meaning & same vs different literal meanings & express the same vs different conceptual metaphors. (2) The importance of the role of culture in metaphor usage is exemplified by Hungarian equivalents of 13 American English examples of the conceptual metaphor "Love is a journey" given by G. Lakoff & M. Johnson (1980) ; the translations were developed in collaboration with English-speaking Hungarian university students (N = 20) & are presented with extensive commentary.
