 * In the lead section, the paragraph about "argument is war" and the one below it lean toward a particular view of metaphor. There are others who would disagree with those paragraphs and say that that metaphor doesn't shape how we think about war or other topics. Also, the last couple of sentences in the third paragraph of the lead need a source.
 * Part of Conduit Metaphor is plagiarized - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4100442/ "It is metaphorically construed as if, whenever people communicate, they “insert” their mental contents (meanings, thoughts, concepts, etc.) into “containers” (words, phrases, sentences, etc.) whose contents are then “extracted” by listeners."
 * The Mappings section is also plagiarized: https://books.google.com/books?id=l2O8yppqAmAC&pg=PA319&lpg=PA319&dq=%22+systematic+set+of+correspondences+that+exist+between+constituent+elements+of+the+source+and+the+target+domain%22&source=bl&ots=KIV4TjNPR5&sig=ACfU3U1UGA0snseyi0N_iVXJ5RIx0nbn7g&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi7n9Cqx4bmAhVjplkKHTm4Br4Q6AEwBHoECAUQAg#v=onepage&q=%22%20systematic%20set%20of%20correspondences%20that%20exist%20between%20constituent%20elements%20of%20the%20source%20and%20the%20target%20domain%22&f=false
 * There's another part about metaphor shaping perception in Language and Culture as Mappings, so this could be reworded so it doesn't sound like this is definitely true
 * "cognitive scholars writing in English have tended not to investigate the discourse of foreign languages in any great detail to determine the creative ways in which individuals negotiate, resist, and consolidate conceptual metaphors." - This needs a source
 * There are no citations in the Linguistics and Politics section

I had some difficulty locating your edits, but I did notice that you added the section "Distinctions on Metaphor". This is helpful in understanding the different viewpoints on conceptual metaphor, but it is worth noting that it only offers Pinker's distinctions. I'm not sure if other scholars also examine the varying perspectives, but it might be worth looking into. It may seem that Pinker's view is overrepresented or that there is biased here, although you do attribute these ideas to him instead of stating them as fact, which is good. I think the title of the subsection, however, is a bit of a misnomer. Here you're not discussing distinctions on metaphor but different perspectives surrounding the role of metaphor in thought and language. Miashang4 (talk) 19:56, 26 November 2019 (UTC)Mia
