　　6.1 Three Perspectives on the Relationship between Metaphor and "Realitv"　　6.1.1 Description-oriented View of Metaphor　　In Western thought， scrutiny of metaphor goes as far back as the Sophists， Plato and， most notably， Aristotle. Investigations persist today， with metaphor being a popular topic of inquiry in the natural and social sciences，in linguistics， psychology， philosophy and literary theory， amongst others.　　Etymologically， "metaphor" derives from the Greek metaphora （meta - "over"　　and "phora" - "to carry"） and generally denotes a process of creative　　comparisons or tropes of resemblance between different objects， contexts　　and/or experiences. Along these lines， Burke summarizes metaphor as "a　　device of seeing something in terms of something else" （A Grammar ofMotives 503）. Despite the varying emphasis of different theories of metaphor，they all generally consider metaphor to express the unfamiliar （and at times abstract） in terms of the familiar or to create novel expressions and understandings by comparing dissimilar objects and/or phenomena. The terminology may differ-"tenor" and "vehicle：' "focus" and "frame" or "target" and "source" domains-but there appears to be an underlying agreement that metaphors graft together different fields of meaning.　　Despite this general agreement， the theoretical underpinning of major　　strands of thought on metaphor diverge considerably. A useful way to distinguish between them is by examining their views regarding the relationship between metaphor and "reality." This yields three broad， but not mutually exclusive， perspectives： 1） theories that focus on metaphors' power to describe reality; 2） theories that examine metaphors' capaaty to constitute reality; and 3） theories that propose metaphors' potential as a means of criticizing and transforming reality. In this section， we briefly overview these perspectives and the relationships between them in order to lay the groundwork for metaphor's role in establishing， maintaining and modifying ideology which shall be studied　　and explored later.　　……
