When is a metaphor not a blend?
We have seen that a constitutive process in conceptual blending involves matching, which identifies counterparts across input spaces. One of the motivations for matching is the presence of a generic space. Although a large subset of conceptual metaphors are blends, with counterparts established in the ‘source’ and ‘target’, as pointed out by Grady et al. (1999) there is a small but important subset of highly conventionalised conceptual metaphors that are not blends. These are the primary metaphors we discussed in Chapter 9. Recall that primary metaphors are based on a correspondence between concepts rather than entire domains (although the primary source and primary target concepts are in different domains). In addition, primary metaphors are established on the basis of close and highly salient correlations in experience which give rise to a pre-conceptual correlation rather than a matching operation at the conceptual level. However, while primary metaphors are not themselves blends, they can function as inputs to blending, as we will see in the discussion of the SHIP OF STATE metaphoric blend in the next section. In this way, an important achievement of Conceptual Metaphor Theory is to identify metaphoric mappings that are directly grounded in experience. Mappings of this kind, which are thought to be among the most foundational aspects of conceptual structure, are not blends, and are not therefore addressed by Blending Theory. In this respect, Conceptual Metaphor Theory retains an important role in the analysis of figurative thought and language.
