The relevant paper explores the relationship between various cognitive functions and the generation of novel as well as conventional metaphors. The results show that only selective attention plays a major role in conventional metaphor generation, whereas novel metaphor generation relies on  other cognitive functions. I will discuss the findings of this paper in light of the current knowledge on relevant topics.
