This paper is noteworthy for consistently noting that (visual) metaphors can work in two directions: e.g., a woman's body is like a violin, or a violin is like a woman's body.
These are symmetrical metaphors. That is, they are single instances that can be read in two directions.
What I want to focus on is also pairs of mappings that relate two domains in both directions. This can be realized in a number of distinct instances.
Thus, by the normal standards of cognitive metaphor theory, be recognized as a conceptual and cognitive (rather than verbal and linguistic) operation.
