Summary/Abstract: Serkowska examines the functions of metaphorical expressions in texts that belong to the maladic narrative current of the Alzheimerian variant. The point of departure is Susan Sontag’s polemic with the notion of illness as a metaphor, but Serkowska also takes into account Max Black’s interaction theory of metaphor and cognitive science.Her examples are texts where the key motif is dementia, describing the functions of the dementia-related metaphors as a source domain of metaphors and as a target domain.
