Status: draft analysis from MIPVU-backed CMT mappings.

Scope

This artifact summarizes 19 CMT mapping records. Each mapping cites one or more MIPVU-positive or uncertain lexical units. Frequency counts are counts of mapping records, not counts of every metaphor in the full corpus.

Claim Discipline

Frequency, distribution, concentration, rhetorical salience, conceptual centrality, and ideological force are separate measures. A high-salience mapping may appear once in a climactic passage; a repeated mapping may still be conceptually weak or conventional. Treat this artifact as a review index, not a finished interpretive argument.
