| Description | The book chapter examines metaphorical expressions from the source domain of HUMAN BODY as used in the target domain of HEAVY MACHINERY. It argues that - owing to the tangible nature of both domain involved - these cases are better interpreted as cases of discourse metaphor in sense of Evans (2013) rather than a case of conceptual metaphor.
