An angry man may be drawn with smoke coming out his ears.

Advertisements

Advertisements are the major manifestation of conceptual metaphor, so it’s depends on the good choice of conceptual metaphor during selling process to evoke in people. E.g. washing powders are presented as a good friends.

Symbols

To understand a symbol you should be able to see conceptual metaphors that symbol evoke , thus symbols in general and cultural symbols in particular may be well entrenched metaphors in a culture.

a metaphor function as a key element in myth. Example of this myth of Oedipus , in which the metaphors a life time is a day.
