Since pioneering work (e.g., Rijn-van Tongeren 1997, Stambuk 1998, Temmerman 2000, Tercedor 2004, Alexiev 2004), the last three decades have witnessed a growing interest in the role conceptual metaphor plays within scientific and technical discourse. In the literature, a shift can be noticed from the study of non-resemblance (e.g., Larson 2008) to resemblance metaphors (e.g., Alexiev 2005 in civil engineering, Caballero 2006 in architecture, Ureña and Faber 2010 in marine biology). Whereas non-resemblance metaphors, according to Lakoff and Turner (1989: 91), stem from rich and abstract structures not involving physical or behavioral patterns, resemblance metaphors result from comparison in physical appearance (on the basis of shape, color, and size) and/or behavior.
