Metaphors and similar tropes deal primarily with concepts and cognition, with the intellectual life of perceiving, understanding and acting. However, I will talk about language, and especially about predicates and verbs. However, not all cognition is linguistic, in any interesting sense.1 Translate what I say about language into your own peculiar locution for cognition. If you believe that the linguistic mode causes problems for my arguments, I would be delighted to hear about them, and see what can be done to solve them.
