The Interaction between Research Method and Subjective Competence in Systematic Metaphor Analysis

The tension between the potential of subjective understanding and rules of research cannot be resolved on a theoretical level. The systematic analysis of metaphors demonstrates an interaction between the competence of the subject and rules of interpretation. The last part describes the types of interpretations, which are typical for metaphor analysis. URN: urn:nbn:de:0114-fqs0302415
