Abstract
A central challenge in the design of non-speech sounds is to understand the relating conceptualisation process. In the current paper, we propose the use of metaphor theories as a framework to understand what sound design is fundamentally all about. In the proposed framework, we handle metaphors as conceptual entities, which are the basic constituents of meaning making.
