I'm not a college undergraduate, the person for whom, supposedly CZ is being written, but a college grad, in English, moreover, and I think that this lede para *may* be suitable for a doctoral dissertation (meaning that it's essentially unreadable and incomprehensible), but certainly not for a general purpose encycl.  Sorry to whoever wrote it -- I'm sure you meant well, but it *really* needs major restructuring....

Intoduction

I find the Intro to Metaphor a bit too abbreviated. I'd like it if it explained more, perhaps exemplified, and if it introduced the broader context of metaphor. Perhaps it needs to wait for the article to develop first. Personal opinions. --Anthony.Sebastian 03:59, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Jakobson

It seems to me that any discussion of metaphor really should include a discussion of the rather specialized way in which Roman Jakobson talks about metaphor (in opposition to metonymy). Not that I'm really qualified to do so, of course...

I just looked at the WP metaphor article, and they don't have any discussion of Jakobson either. If we did it, it would be one way our article could be made more useful than WP's.
