Metaphor in organization theory: progress and the past
This paper responds to Oswick and Jones' comments on the article "Beyond Compare: Metaphor in Organization Theory" (Cornelissen, 2005). Oswick and Jones suggest that Cornelissen's critique of the comparison model is misplaced. Generally, a conceptual model of metaphor needs to account for emergent meaning produced in and through the metaphor. As such, there is no place for the comparison model in providing an account of metaphor comprehension (a cognitive interest), or, indeed, of the link between people's use of metaphorical language and their conceptualizations and patterns of thinking (a cognitive linguistic interest). Moving beyond a cognitive or semantic account of metaphor, the preoccupation of the cognitive and cognitive linguistic traditions, to a pragmatic or what Oswick and Jones refer to as a sociological account of metaphor, there would still be little room for a comparison model, since it would equally offer no foreseeable account of the dynamics of language use.Printed Journal
