Abstract
This article responds to the latest theoretical and empirical developments in Deliberate Metaphor Theory (DMT) and
explores the extension of deliberate metaphor and its use in translation and interpreting. Grounded on a comprehension-based and a
production-based perspective of Deliberate Metaphor Theory, I argue that both deliberate metaphor and deliberate metaphor use are
valid theoretical constructs for translation and interpreting research. I then discuss some pending issues in researching
deliberate metaphor (use) in translation and interpreting.
