Abstract:
Now Available in Paperback!
Cognitive linguists have proposed that metaphor is not just a matter of
language but of thought, and that metaphorical thought displays a high
degree of conventionalization. In order to produce converging evidence for
this theory of metaphor, a wide range of data is currently being studied
with a large array of methods and techniques. Finding Metaphor in Grammar
and Usage aims to map the field of this development in theory and research
from a methodological perspective. It raises the question when exactly
evidence for metaphor in language and thought can be said to count as
converging. It also goes into the various stages of producing such evidence
(conceptualization, operationalization, data collection and analysis, and
interpretation). The book offers systematic discussion of eight distinct
areas of metaphor research that emerge as a result of approaching metaphor
as part of grammar or usage, language or thought, and symbolic structure or
cognitive process.

"This volume is a must-have for anyone interested in metaphor research. It
offers authoritative, up-to-date coverage of theory and research on
metaphor, while preserving a rich, usage-based perspective. It covers the
major theories of metaphor, including conceptual metaphor, blending,
structure-mapping and categorization-based approaches, and does so in a
clear, highly readable fashion. A particularly valuable feature for
instructors and students is a set of tables in which Steen systematizes and
compares positions and predictions across the major theories of metaphor."
- Dedre Gentner, Northwestern University
"Gerard Steen's important and provocative book addresses the problem of how
to reliably identify metaphors and adequately account for their symbolic
and conceptual structure, as well as their production and comprehension.
Steen's research agenda is ambitious. He develops a multidimensional
procedural approach to metaphor identification and description that, at
each stage, is guided by transparent intersubjective verifiable principles.
This monograph is a most welcome contribution to the study of metaphor. It
is bound to stimulate discussion about the empirical validity of current
conceptual metaphor theories."
