*** Some years back I wrote a book on this and related matters of Symbolism or "Metaphor": The Metaphorical Basis of Language: A Study in Cross-Cultural Linguistics or THE LEFT-HANDED HUMMINGBIRD by E. Morgan Kelley, Ph.D. (Edwin Mellen Press, 1992). I have also had scholarly articles on these topics published around the world - from Europe and the Americas to China - and taught at the University Level for Decades.
