Most pragmatic theorists ofmetaphor classify themetaphorical content ofmetaphors such as ‘‘MargaretThatcher isa bulldozer’’ aswhat is implicated (rather than as what is said).However,metaphorical content cannot be classified as what is implicated because it is not consistent with the proposition of which it is supposed to be an implicature. That is, because Margaret Thatcher cannot be both a pushy person and a machine,metaphorical content cannot be an implicature of the literal content. Furthermore, inmetaphor the speaker has a commitment to the metaphorical content instead of to the literal content, not in addition to it. Hence metaphorical content must be ‘‘what is said.’’
