AspectManifest indicationSubtle indication
ComprehensionMeaning is evident without extended inferenceMeaning emerges through reflection and analysis
BasisExplicit wording, obvious reasoning or familiar circumstancesA delicate implication, context or rhetorical association
RiskPremature classificationInventing an unsupported figurative reading
These are degrees of clarity of indication, not necessarily two distinct kinds of figurative predication. What is clear in a well-known context may be obscure when detached from it.
The complete utterance, its surrounding discourse, the speaker's intent and recognized usage may all matter.
