metaphor is one of the mostly discussed topics from different aspects of social science. Metaphor is so commonly used in our lives that we most of the times don't realize it. This paper is intended to see how metaphor is understood from a pragmatic perspective in contexts by receivers (hearers /readers). In order to achieve that goal, Co-operative Principle, Indirect Speech Act Theory and Relevance Theory are put into use.
