Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to highlight the importance of analogy, co-textual markers and contextual inferences in the interpretation of conceptual metaphors. The study has been conducted on authentic texts, namely excerpts from the three Presidential Debates in 2008 America. The linguistic approach draws upon Lakoff’s and Goatly’s cognitive theories on metaphor, as well as Grice’s Maxims of Conversation.
