Metaphor identification procedure
Hey there little one, have you ever heard someone use words that don't mean exactly what they say, but instead paint a picture in your mind? Those are called metaphors!
A metaphor is a way of using words to describe something that you wouldn't normally describe with those words. For example, if I said "the sun is a golden fireball in the sky," I am using a metaphor, because the sun isn't actually on fire or made of gold, but it can look like that to us.
Now, sometimes people use lots of metaphors together to describe something, and it can be hard to understand what they are really talking about. That's where the metaphor identification procedure comes in!
This procedure is just a fancy way of saying that someone looks at a bunch of words and tries to figure out what they really mean. Specifically, they try to find all the metaphors in a piece of writing or speech, and then explain what they are trying to say with those metaphors.
To do this, the person reading the text has to first understand what each word means, and then try to figure out what the words are trying to say when used together in a metaphor. Once they have found all the metaphors, they can then explain what the writer or speaker is really trying to say.
So, in summary, a metaphor is a way of describing something that may not be literally true, and the metaphor identification procedure is a way of figuring out all the metaphors in a text to understand what the writer or speaker really means.
