“…Low, Deignan, Cameron and Todd (2010) take this definition further, to assert that metaphor is ubiquitous and crucial in expressing abstract thought. Sackman (1989), metaphor, defined as a language form applied on a different content to express a specific similarity of a term or concept (cited by: Yıldırım & Simsek, 2011), is evaluated as a powerful mental tool that in recent years individual can set to work on understanding and explaining a complicated, theoretic and abstract phenomenon at high level (Yob, 2003).

“…This result is supported by the expression of Weade and Ernst (1990), "Metaphors are selective and they represent a part, but not the whole, of the phenomena they describe," in which they attempt to express metaphors' power of describing a particular concept.

Metaphors can be alive-lifeless, abstract-concrete, and positive or negative.…”
