Here is a list of responses to the 3D model of DMT, which evolved from ‘The paradox of metaphor’ (Steen, 2008, in Metaphor & Symbol<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Jordan Zlatev and Kalina Moskaluk, in a 2022 book chapter, discuss how CMT and DMT compare regarding their translation validity, and how this can be improved by another new theory, the Motivation & Sedimentation Model. DOI: 10.1075\/ftl.17.06zla.<\/p>\n

Elisabeth Putterer, in Initium<\/strong> 2022, discusses the relation between Conceptual Metaphor Theory and Deliberate Metaphor Theory in its original 3D form:(99+) Von der Conceptual Metaphor Theory zur Deliberate Metaphor Theory<\/a><\/p>\n

Zoltan K\u0151vecses, in a 2019 book chapter, indicates how DMT can be related to some consequences of a multi-level view of metaphor that is oriented to CMT. https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1515\/9783110629460-002<\/a><\/p>\n

Benjamins Carcamo,\u00a0 in Estudios de Linguistica Aplicada<\/strong> 2018, addresses the question whether Conceptual Metaphor Theory and Deliberate Metaphor Theory can be seen as complementary proposals: (99+) Teor\u00eda de la met\u00e1fora conceptual y teor\u00eda de la met\u00e1fora deliberada: \u00bfpropuestas complementarias? Conceptual metaphor theory and deliberate metaphor theory: Supplementary proposals<\/a><\/p>\n

Ray Gibbs, in his\u00a0Metaphor Wars <\/em>(Cambridge: 2019)), is highly critical of the empirical status of DMT.<\/p>\n

Cihua Xu, Chuanrui Zhang, and Wichen Wu, in Intercultural Pragmatics<\/strong> 2016, describe how Deliberate Metaphor Theory may be able to enlarge the scope of metaphor studies: Enlarging the scope of metaphor studies<\/a>. This receives a highly critical reply from Raymond Gibbs jr. and Elaine Chen, in Intercultural Pragmatics<\/strong> 2017, which claims DMT does not advance metaphor studies but instead takes it back to the Stone Age: Taking metaphor studies back to the Stone Age: A reply to Xu, Zhang, and Wu (2016)<\/a>. This in turn is replied to critically in Gerard Steen, in Intercultural Pragmatics<\/strong> 2017, which sketches out the most important claims of DMT: Deliberate Metaphor Theory: Basic assumptions, main tenets, urgent issues<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ray Gibbs, in Journal of Pragmatics<\/strong> 2015, presents a failed test of Deliberate Metaphor Theory, and in the process coins the term ‘Deliberate Metaphor Theory’ itself: Do pragmatic signals affect conventional metaphor understanding? A failed test of deliberate metaphor theory – ScienceDirect<\/a>. Gerard Steen offers a reply: Do pragmatic signals affect conventional metaphor understanding? A failed test of deliberate metaphor theory – ScienceDirect<\/a>. Ray Gibbs has the last word: Does deliberate metaphor theory have a future? – ScienceDirect<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Charteris-Black, in Metaphor and the Social World<\/strong> 2012, proposes the concept of ‘purposeful metaphor’ as an alternative to ‘deliberate metaphor’: (PDF) Forensic deliberations on \u2018purposeful metaphor\u2019.<\/a><\/p>\n

Ray Gibbs, in the first issue of Metaphor and the Social World<\/strong> 2011, discusses the relation between deliberate metaphor and consciousness, and claims that deliberate metaphor is a vacuous notion: Are \u2018deliberate\u2019 metaphors really deliberate?: A question of human consciousness and action | John Benjamins<\/a>. There are three reaction papers: one by Gerard Steen (What does \u2018really deliberate\u2019 really mean?: More thoughts on metaphor and consciousness | John Benjamins<\/a>), one by Alice Deignan (Deliberateness is not unique to metaphor: A response to Gibbs | John Benjamins<\/a>), and one by Cornelia Muller (Are \u2018deliberate\u2019 metaphors really special?: Deliberateness in the light of metaphor activation | John Benjamins<\/a>). Ray Gibbs has the last word: Advancing the debate on deliberate metaphor | John Benjamins<\/a>.<\/p>\n
