Abstract
ABSTRACT
A metaphor often takes a word that is commonly used to refer to a thing or an action that we experience by our five senses and then uses it to refer to something that is beyond the reach of those immediate senses. As told by Percy metaphors are very strange because when you put two things together it's a way of discovering meanings which haven't been discovered before.
Journalistic writing has been a welcome source of natural language data for ,metaphor research. The popularity of newspaper text for metaphor research would seem to suggest that news is a very metaphorical register. Newspaper is one way to get information. In reading the newspaper, it is important to get what the newspaper intended to say. Therefore, newspaper should present the information clearly. However, constructing sentences sometimes produces more than one meaning.
