Abstract This chapter discusses and reflects on the contributions in the “metaphor analysis in multimodal discourse” part of the current book, and sketches developments and challenges in CMMT (Conceptual Metaphor & Metonymy Theory). Specifically, aspiring multimodality scholars are exhorted to invest time and energy in learning about other modes and media than the one they have been trained to analyze; to familiarize themselves with other theoretical paradigms; to investigate other tropes besides metaphor and metonymy; and to be aware of the crucial importance of genre.
