• metafora

metaphor englanniksi

• puhekieltä The use of a word or phrase to refer to something that it is not, invoking a direct similarity between the word or phrase used and the thing described (but in the case of English without the words like or as, which would imply a simile); the word or phrase used in this way; an implied comparison.

• 1874, John Seely Hart, First Lessons in Composition, https://books.google.com.au/books?id=P1ELAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA92&dq=%22Metaphor+may+be+changed+into+a+Simile%22&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=yv=onepage&q=%22Metaphor%20may%20be%20changed%20into%20a%20Simile%22&f=false page 92,

A Metaphor may be changed into a Simile, and also into plain language, containing neither metaphor nor simile. Thus:

Metaphor. — Idleness is the rust of the soul.

Simile. — As rust is to iron, so is idleness to the soul, taking away its strength and power of resistance.

Plain. — Idleness takes away from the soul its strength and power of resistance.

• 1979, Daniel Breazeale (translator), (w), (w) 1873, Über Wahrheit und Lüge im außermoralischen Sinn, in Philosophy and Truth, page 84, quoted in 1998, (w), Truth and the Reality of God: An Essay in Natural Theology, https://books.google.com.au/books?id=LliT8vLPXlIC&pg=PA103&dq=%22What+then+is+truth?+A+movable+host+of+metaphors,+metonymies%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi_h7bMgpzKAhWFupQKHeywB7sQ6AEISjAIv=onepage&q=%22What%20then%20is%20truth%3F%20A%20movable%20host%20of%20metaphors%2C%20metonymies%22&f=false page 103,

What then is truth? A movable host of metaphors, metonymies, and anthropomorphisms: in short, a sum of human relations which have been poetically and rhetorically intensified, transferred, and embellished, and which, after long usage, seems to a people to be fixed, canonical, and binding. Truths are illusions which we have forgotten are illusions; they are metaphors that have become worn out and have been drained of sensuous force, coins which have lost their embossing and are now considered as metal and no longer as coins.

• puhekieltä The use of an everyday object or concept to represent an underlying facet of the computer and thus aid users in performing tasks.
