This article explores the evolution of the definition and understanding of metaphor in linguistics, tracing its development from Aristotle’s foundational concepts to the modern theories proposed by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson. It examines how metaphor has been perceived as a rhetorical device, a cognitive tool, and a fundamental aspect of human thought and language.
