这篇论文对长期存在的关于住房所有权含义的争论以及对城市和住房研究中日益增长的话语和语言的兴趣做出了贡献。它勾勒出一个理论框架，在这个框架中，类比和隐喻是住房所有权知识社会建构的关键手段。本文引用了在英国布里斯托尔一小部分业主家庭中进行的定性田野调查的一些结果，以说明隐喻结构的常识警句是动员保有权偏见的修辞技巧。文章最后概述了探索住房使用权文化意义的新的研究方向，并对类比和隐喻在城市研究中的意义提出了一些更一般的看法。
This paper makes contributions to long-established debates about the meaning of home-ownership and to the growing interest in discourse and language in urban and housing research. It outlines a theoretical framework in which analogy and metaphor are crucial devices in the social construction of home-ownership knowledge. The paper draws upon some results from qualitative fieldwork undertaken amongst a small group of home-owner households in Bristol, UK, to illustrate metaphorically structured, common-sense aphorisms as rhetorical techniques in the mobilisation of tenure prejudice. The paper concludes by outlining new directions for research exploring the cultural significance of housing tenure, and makes some more general observations regarding the significance of analogy and metaphor in urban studies.
