What is Metaphors vs. Comparisons Explained about?
The document discusses issues with viewing metaphors as comparisons. It argues that simply stating similarities found by comparing is different than uttering a metaphor. Open comparison stating similarities in some way is uninformative, while closed comparison specifying similarities supplies information not provided in the metaphor. Metaphors also allow for different valid interpretations, unlike comparisons which would have set paraphrases.
