The ANALYSIS OF PAUL HENLE'S UNDERSTANDING OF THE METAPHOR IN THE CONTEXT OF USING THE PREPOSITION “LIKE” IN THE STYLE OF THE NARRATIVE

According to Paul Henle, there is not much new to be said about the metaphor. Metaphor theories are still divided by fundamental principles. In other words, the theories of substitution and comparison (vergleich) are accepted as basic and are provided to show directions. The more valid and guiding one is the theory of interaction. This state of non-limitation, which is the basis of the difficulty in the classification, is a key feature of the metaphor. Therefore, the basic attitude of a new theory or view will be (1) repair and renovation or in the form of (2) opposition and repair. Although Paul Henle's perception of metaphor is not too prominent, it has a very stable and interpretable conceptual foundation. Especially the highlighting of the poetic value as a benchmark in the analysis of the metaphorical structures of comparison-based uses, is a basis of this view. Instead of comparing the topic from a theoretical point of view, I have tried to take the preposition “like” to the center and to deepen it with examples. Thus, the particular examples will help to understand the state of the interaction theory much better as compared to the substitution and comparison theories.
