7 The bridges have been built, then, and now the salient properties from the implication complex of ‘zero-sum-game’ can cross (be transferred) to fuse with the corresponding salient properties of the implication complex of ‘marriage’, thus reorganizing the view of marriage (at least for as long as the metaphor is entertained). In this ‘journey across the bridge’ the zero-sum game’s ‘contest’ turns the marriage’s ‘relation’ into a ‘struggle’; the two opponents become two adversaries or contestants, one a husband, the other a wife; and the rewards of the zero-sum game turn the marriage’s ‘benefits’ into the kind that the two participants can obtain only at each other’s expense.
12; Forceville 1995b). Taking Wollheim’s own example of Marx’s famous statement, it is immediately clear that claiming that RELIGION is OPIUM is entirely different from proposing that OPIUM is RELIGION, if only because the first metaphor is predicating something about religion and the second about opium. Thus, Wollheim here ignores the crucial fact that for anything to be called a metaphor, it must be assessed which of the terms is the primary subject and which is the secondary subject of the metaphor— this distribution in itself determining the direction of the metaphor’s featuretransfer.
The literal, conventional subject, which by definition always belongs to the frame, is labelled its ‘primary subject’; the metaphorical subject, which by definition is or belongs to the focus, is called its ‘secondary subject’. Each of the subjects is a ‘system of things’. This is taken to mean that it labels a complex network of properties or features. These properties or features can be reformulated in terms of predicates of the form ‘…is Y’. The properties, moreover, are of a widely different nature: they may designate characteristics deemed to be inherent in them; they may only constitute acknowledged half-truths; they may reflect popular beliefs, superstitions, emotions, attitudes conventionally associated with them (more or less Black’s Aristotelian endoxa).
