Produced by David Starner, Project Manager, Keith M. Eckrich, Post-Processor, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreaders Team "Three Articles on Metaphor" by E.B., H.W. Fowler & A. Clutton-Brock is a scholarly publication produced in the early 20th century, around the 1920s. This work is an exploration of metaphoric language and its function, examining how metaphors are constructed and used, particularly in literary and journalistic contexts. The authors aim to elucidate the distinctions between live and dead metaphors, their appropriate applications, and common pitfalls writers encounter when employing these figures of speech. The book consists of three main articles that delve into the intricacies of metaphors. The first article discusses the function of metaphor in writing, asserting that effective metaphors enhance a reader's understanding by drawing meaningful comparisons. The second article addresses the role of metaphor in journalism, highlighting the dangers of overused, mixed, or dead metaphors that can dilute the intended effect of writing. The final article critiques habitual metaphor usage, emphasizing that the reliance on clichéd expressions can weaken a writer's prose and diminish emotional communication. Overall, the work serves as a guide for writers to utilize metaphor effectively, encouraging originality and precision in expression.
