This is a 4 page paper discussing the use of body metaphors in contemporary text. Metaphors within contemporary text are used to emphasize particular events, situations, emotions or physical states and are considered by some that today “one cannot think without metaphors”. The use of body metaphors within text is easy to grasp for all readers who can relate more so to images related to the body that with objects to which they have little association. There are two different types of body metaphors used most frequently in text and conversations. Firstly, within text, body parts can be used to emphasize a particular function of an object in relation to its whole. This is common in political functions such as in instances of “head of state”, “body of the assembly”, “arms of the network” and “military footmen”; all which emphasize the function of that person, place or object within the system as a whole. Another type of body metaphor is in reference to the feelings within a body itself such as when an individual describes himself as being “torn in two”, “up against a wall”, or “hot-blooded” in which individuals may use metaphors to explain a state or condition and are often considered as “images of speech” and in the case of psychiatric counseling the “metaphor captures their feelings and beliefs about themselves”.
