.Part of thebook series (PSPLC) AbstractThe development of the notion of ad hoc concept formation in relation to concept loosening, particularly in those cases where the denotations of a decoded lexical concept and its corresponding communicated concept do not intersect (as is the case in the interpretation of many metaphor vehicles), is currently a matter of intense debate in relevance theory. Robyn Carston (2002: 349–359) illustrates and examines the main issues and problems to which the notion gives rise, raises many interesting questions, and suggests promising directions for further research. This chapter responds to some of these questions and suggestions, focusing on the problem of emergent properties in metaphor comprehension and on how vehicles in subject-predicate metaphors communicate concepts having properties not derived directly from the encyclopaedic entries attached to their decoded conceptual addresses. 1 First I present the background to the issues of ad hoc concepts and emergent properties, with reference to a few familiar examples discussed in Carston (2002) and Rosa Vega Moreno (2005, 2007). I then discuss and express various concerns with the solution to the emergent property problem offered by Vega Moreno (2005) and with the relevance theory account of metaphor interpretation more generally. Finally I discuss and develop suggestions in Carston (2002) which concern the possible role of sui generis phenomenal state representations in metaphor comprehension.
