Description The book chapter examines metaphorical expressions from the source domain of HUMAN BODY as used in the target domain of HEAVY MACHINERY. It argues that - owing to the tangible nature of both domain involved - these cases are better interpreted as cases of discourse metaphor in sense of Evans (2013) rather than a case of conceptual metaphor. Evans, V. 2013. Metaphor, lexical concepts and figurative meaning constructions. Journal of Cognitive Semiotics V (1–2), 73–107.
