Metaphor is a common topic in linguistics and literary studies. Contemporary cognitive linguistics has proposed a cognitive approach to studying metaphor without attaching sufficient importance to the role of contexts in metaphorical usage. Therefore, it fails to reveal the complete mechanism of metaphors. In Where Metaphors Come From: Reconsidering Context in Metaphor, the latest book in metaphor studies, Zoltán Kövecses analyzes metaphorical usage in literary discourse to showcase the effect of contexts providing an important supplement to conceptual metaphor theory.
