A term coined by George Lakoff and Mark Turner in their application of conceptual metaphor theory to poetic metaphor. Relates to a relatively specific or fine-grained level of metaphoric representation which borrows structure from more schematic or abstract levels of metaphor known as generic-level metaphor. The process whereby structure is borrowed by the specific-level metaphor is known as inheritance. For instance, the specific-level metaphor love is a journey borrows structure from the generic-level metaphors that make up the Event Structure Metaphor.
