认知转向强调了隐喻概念在人类认知和语言中的一致性和共享性，全面的视角要求对活隐喻给予应有的关注。活生生的隐喻最典型和最具启发性的例子不是对共享和一致的隐喻概念的诗意重述，而是对复杂表达的冲突含义的文本解释。虚拟隐喻记录了语言表达的创造潜力，并揭示了隐喻转移和投射的结构。此外，一个活生生的隐喻所引发的复杂的推理网络可能会产生一系列与之相一致的冲突表达--“隐喻群”--这是一个值得实证研究的问题。本文最后一节是对英国浪漫主义和法国象征主义中的液体光的隐喻群的说明。
Now that the cognitive turn has highlighted the role of consistent and shared metaphorical concepts in human cognition and language, a comprehensive vision demands that living metaphors are paid due attention. The most typical and revealing instances of living metaphor are not poetic rewordings of shared and consistent metaphorical concepts but textual interpretations of conflictual meanings of complex expressions. Conflictual metaphors document the creative potential of linguistic expressions and shed light on the structure of metaphorical transfer and projection. Moreover, the complex network of inferences triggered by a living metaphor may generate a set of conflictual expressions consistent with it-a "metaphorical swarm"-which is open to empirical investigation. The final section of this article is an illustration of the metaphorical swarm of liquid light in English Romanticism and French Symbolism.
