Finished chapter 13 Grounding of Structural Metaphors: examines the metaphors, "rational argument is war", "labor is a resource", and "time is a resource".

Turns out this book is far less engaging than I thought. Gonna keep track of my progress chapter by chapter, to motivate me to finish it.

As Charlotte Linde (in conversation) has observed, whether in national politics or in everyday interaction, people in power get to impose their metaphors.

Of course this is the one checkout that has a hold on it -_-

Try to imagine a culture where arguments are not viewed in terms of war, where no one wins or loses, where there is no sense of attacking or defending, gaining or losing ground.
