The aim of this study is to discover basic principles underlying linguistic figurativeness and to develop a theory that is capable of capturing conventional figurative language (referred to as CFLT - Conventional Figurative Language Theory). This study analyses idioms, proverbs, lexicalised metaphors, and figurative compounds, drawn from ten standard languages.
