iberica-370	Hidalgo Downing, Laura; Kraljevich Mujic, Blanca	Infectious diseases are like sleeping monsters:: Conventional and culturally adapted new metaphors in a corpus of abstracts on immunology.	2009-01-02	22	.pdf	application/pdf	7676	350	49	We focus on the distinction between conventional metaphors and culturally adapted new metaphors and discuss the role played by metaphor choice in the communicative purposes of the abstracts and their register features. We argue that one of the main strategies used to attract the reader‘s attention is the combination of highly conventionalized metaphors, which occur more frequently in the corpus, together with what we call “culturally adapted new metaphors”, which display different degrees of creativity and are less frequent in the corpus.	cache/iberica-370.pdf	txt/iberica-370.txt
