TI - Cultural aspects of metaphor scenarios
AB - 
	The functions of metaphors are not solely stylistic; they are also cognitive. It is argued that metaphor scenarios in particular play an important role in the constitution and transfer of cultural constructs like, for instance, in the narrative of transcendent justice. Three examples of this narrative in three different cultures and ages are discussed, outlining the differences but also the similarities of the constituting metaphor scenarios. To conclude, the thesis of a cultural influence between the three narratives is discussed.
