Abstract

In this thematic section, we shall focus on metaphors in computer specialised
language. The main purpose is to discuss, show and elaborate
on how computer metaphors function. During the years I have worked
with the linguistic topic of metaphors, and I have realised that it in fact
is highly controversial. Metaphors in specialised language (Language
for Special Purposes) can be seen as controversial too. Therefore, we
will touch upon two subjects: metaphors in general and metaphors in
LSP texts, which follow computer metaphors.
