Thanks Linda. I've already done the general search on mixed metaphor and catachresis so I have a general sense of the terms in a literary context. They don't exactly capture what I'm looking for--although your suggestion re: rhetorical device is an avenue yet to be explored. Thank you again. I guess one of the challenges with cross-disciplinary research (and what discourse analysis is accused of) is not being able to delve too deeply into one theoretical area...sigh.
