Summary

In the chapter, I attempt to identify and briefly describe the main features of CMT, as I see them. Other researchers might emphasize different properties of the theory. At the same time, I tried to select those features on which there is some agreement among practitioners of CMT. At the end of the chapter and given the description of the properties, I list a number of outstanding issues in CMT – issues that we need to get clear about in order to make CMT an even more powerful theory of metaphor.
