What is a "conceptual metaphor"?

A conceptual metaphor is a cognitive process where one idea or conceptual domain is understood and expressed in terms of another, often more familiar or concrete, idea. This helps people to comprehend abstract concepts through relatable experiences. For example, the metaphor "time is money" suggests that time can be spent, saved, or wasted, similar to how money is treated. This way of thinking influences language and thought, as it shapes how individuals perceive and discuss various topics. Conceptual metaphors are fundamental in communication, allowing for richer and more meaningful expression, and they play a significant role in literature, rhetoric, and everyday conversation.
