This study examines the relationship between the metaphor in the title and the content of T.T. Cloete’s
Volume of Poetry titled Met die aarde praat.
It will be demonstrated that the volume title as global metaphor is an integral part of the textual element
of the text, that it also fulfills a hermeneutical function in respect to the text in that it offers clues and
insights into reading and understanding of the poems or volume contents. In light of the aforementioned
metaphor theory is investigated on three levels: on a cognitive or conceptual level, on a linguistic/textual
level and on a communicative level. The titles and mottos of the eight sections frame the sections as well
as refer to themes and provide clues to reading and understanding the individual poems or volume
contents. Section titles are framed by the volume title and often interact with the volume title as global
metaphor and together. / Afrikaans and Theory of Literature
