  bibo_abstract:
  - Explanations play a crucial role in knowledge transfer and meaning-making and
    are often described as a co-constructive process in which multiple agents collaboratively
    shape understanding. However, the metaphors used to conceptualize explaining may
    influence how this process is framed. This study investigates the extent to which
    the co-constructive nature of explaining is represented in explaining metaphors.
    Using a systematic analysis of agency, we examined how these metaphors depict
    the explanation process and the roles of the agents involved. We found that explaining
    metaphors lack collaboration between explainer and addressee, constructiveness
    of the process, as well as bidirectionality and iterativeness. In light of current
    research on metaphorical framing, the study thus highlights the risk that such
    explaining metaphors may reinforce a non-co-constructive perspective on explaining
    and a top-down approach in the development of AI systems as well as other areas.@eng
