Grammatical metaphor is attracting increasing interest, together with a stronger focus on non-literary texts as the subjects of analysis—text types where grammatical metaphor is most commonly used. Grammatical metaphor may be used in both English and Swedish, but seems to be considerably less frequent in Swedish. A comparison of similar texts may indicate restrictions in linguistic usage and also contribute to long-term studies of what may become an example of linguistic change under the influence of legally imposed translation of legislative texts.
