Summary/Abstract: Metaphor can be seen as a metaphysical armature when having in mind its subtlety and its contrast to the ordinary in language. Oppositionally, metaphorizing as a means is used against the well-known, repeatable, literal meanings of the common language. At the least it can be perceived as nonsense, on the contrary, it is beheld as a constitution of compound human cogitation and intellective construction. Metaphor possesses its own tradition of form which is sensed as the semantics memory it is built of. This is of importance when speaking about decoding the metaphorizing whilst interacting via dialogicity. The memory of forms in metaphorizing leads to a fictional meaning and if an alternative perusal occurs, that could only style a mistake. A metaphor is not just a substitution or “saying one thing instead of another”. Essentially, metaphor has its own being and only the literate one could use such in a way that is virtuoso-built whilst using language off the ordinary, but beyond.
