Metaphor comprehension is the study of how individuals understand and interpret metaphorical language. Metaphors are figures of speech in which one thing is described in terms of another, often unrelated, thing. Understanding metaphors requires individuals to make complex cognitive connections between the two concepts being compared. Research in this area explores how people process and interpret metaphors, the underlying cognitive mechanisms involved, and the factors that influence metaphor comprehension, such as context, familiarity, and individual differences. This research can have implications for communication, language processing, and cognitive psychology.
