Abstract
The aim of this paper is to provide an explicit model for the stylistic analysis of texts which include metaphorical utterances For the description of what the stylistician's task is we will use Short (1996). Το provide such a model, we will also need a comprehensive theory of metaphor backed up by recent studies on the topic On the one hand, the model must include the features by which we detect an utterance as metaphorical. These features are contextual anomaly and conceptual contrast Although the anomaly view has been rejected by many authors, we argue that the source of this unjustified rejection lies in the ngid distinction between semantics and pragmatics and that the problem dissolves once we describe the contextual anomaly of novel metaphor from an integrational perspective. On the other hand, we must specify the mechanism of interpretation by which we restructure one domain in terms of another, the result, the metaphorical restructured domain, serves as a context of interpretation for novel metaphor.
