This project investigated the role of (deliberate) metaphor in knowledge communication in academic discourse. It includes comprehensive qualitative metaphor analyses in a corpus of 23 US-American college lectures. The project uncovers the various forms and functions of deliberate metaphors that are used in lectures from four different disciplines (biology, chemistry, philosophy, and psychology).
