To Coin a Phrase or Not to Coin a Phrase : Metaphor, Analogy and Clich?

By Mark Roberts-Seymour

This book presents some commonly expressed phrases that find their way into our communications. Their use can elicit both positive and negative effects on the hearer (reader) when employed. It is a matter of importance to avoid (or employ) them judiciously - and it will be 'a careful but personal choice'. When the presentation is 'weighty', their use can lighten the content; and in some circumstances (as with metaphor and analogy) they may serve to convey connections with the premises of the work that would otherwise require long-winded explanation.
