Abstract

Abstract: A lexical item that has lost its original meaning or some prior meaning
in the chain of semantic change is referred to as a "dead" metaphor. Consequently, in
order to comprehend a dead metaphor, one does not have to refer to the original
meaning. Occasionally, a traditional metaphor may "delexicalize," revealing its more
original meaning (much like with puns, whether intentional or not). In summary, a dead
metaphor results from a semantic change that occurs across a language's history. This
is a slow process, maybe like other social processes. Additionally, it can be reversed
for specific discourse purposes, such as "revitalizing" a dead metaphor.
