There is a very large literature on metaphor. As a start, try
A. Ortony (Ed.) Metaphor and Thought. New York: Cambridge U Press, 1979.

A new journal called "Metaphor" is being started up with first issue
probably in Jan 1985.  Sorry, I don't have ordering information.

In AI, check out the work of Carbonell.

Once you start getting a few leads, you will be overwhelmed by studies.
