I am trying to find an online database of metaphors...one where I can
enter a concept and have metaphors returned.

Same thing with analogies -- preferably both.

Hello again Broker,


The Mind is a Metaphor is a searchable database of over 7,906
metaphors. It was assembled and taxonomized by Brad Pasanek, USC
Annenberg Center for Communication.
