Summary/Abstract: How does manifold meaning become apparent in different contexts? What are the units of meaning, and what are their potential and their limitations? A cognitive approach to interpreting units of meaning implies the potential to cover all information, that received from the use of language, as well as from experience of the world not necessarily of a linguistic nature. Allwood, Lyons, Reddy, Kövecses, Lakoff, and Johnson all develop the idea of potential meaning. This paper deals with a special kind of meaning potential – namely, metaphor.
