<P> All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances (...)--William Shakespeare, As You Like It, 2 / 7 </P> <P> This quotation expresses a metaphor because the world is not literally a stage . By asserting that the world is a stage, Shakespeare uses points of comparison between the world and a stage to convey an understanding about the mechanics of the world and the behavior of the people within it . </P> <P> The Philosophy of Rhetoric (1937) by rhetorician I.A. Richards describes a metaphor as having two parts: the tenor and the vehicle . The tenor is the subject to which attributes are ascribed . The vehicle is the object whose attributes are borrowed . In the previous example, "the world" is compared to a stage, describing it with the attributes of "the stage"; "the world" is the tenor, and "a stage" is the vehicle; "men and women" is the secondary tenor, and "players" is the secondary vehicle . </P> <P> Other writers employ the general terms ground and figure to denote the tenor and the vehicle . Cognitive linguistics uses the terms target and source, respectively . </P>
