This study explores two different approaches to metaphors: the Conceptual Metaphor theory and the Relevance theory. Although these theories vary in many respects, they both attribute high values to context in interpretation of metaphors. Sufficient context allows speakers to use appropriate metaphors and listeners to draw on the right implicatures. Metaphor Prediction hypothesis was suggested by Martin (2007) and proposed that there are three types of context that allow for metaphor use. This study puts this hypothesis to question and tests it with the body part metaphors retrieved from the iWeb corpus. Most body part metaphors are highly conventionalized and are found in corpus without context priming in the way Martin (2007) suggests it. We conclude that context should be understood in a broader way than Martin (2007) does and provide an overview of connected studies in support of a global approach to context.
