This paper aims at expanding theories of metaphorical reasoning to other tropes. Asking why figurative language tends to fall into a limited number of patterns, it first examines approaches that offer an answer – ranging from antique rhetoric theory, Hans Blumenberg, Harald Weinrich, Donald Davidson, and Roman Jakobson to George Lakoff and Mark Johnson. By then turning to Giambattista Vico, it puts forth the argument that a limited set of pre-structured ways of embodied reasoning is hard-wired in and enacted by different aspects of children’s ways of playing – and provides the foundation for structures of thinking in the adult life.

比喻与戏剧：对思想具体形象的新解释

本文旨在将隐喻推理理论扩展到其他比喻。在询问为什么比喻语言往往陷入有限数量的模式时，它首先研究了提供答案的方法——从古代修辞理论、汉斯·布卢门伯格、哈拉尔德·温里希、唐纳德·戴维森和罗曼·雅各布森到乔治·莱考夫和马克·约翰逊。然后转向詹巴蒂斯塔·维科（Giambattista Vico），它提出了这样的论点，即一组有限的预先结构化的具身推理方式是由儿童游戏方式的不同方面所固有和制定的，并为儿童游戏方式的结构提供了基础。思考成人生活。
