Abstract:

Encouraging readers to reflect upon language and the role metaphor plays in 
patterning ideas and thought, this book first offers a critical introduction to 
metaphor theory as it has emerged over the past thirty years in the States. 
James W. Underhill then widens the scope of metaphor theory by 
investigating not only the worldview our language offers us, but also the 
worldviews which we adapt in our own ideological and personal interpretations 
of the world.

This book explores new avenues in metaphor theory in the work of 
contemporary French, German and Czech scholars. Detailed case studies 
marry metaphor theory with discourse analysis in order to investigate the 
ways the Czech language was reshaped by communist discourse, and the 
way fascism emerged in the German language. The third case study turns 
metaphor theory on its head: instead of looking for metaphors in language, it 
describes the way language systems (French & English) are understood in 
terms of metaphorically-framed concepts evolving over time.

Including a multilingual glossary of key terms and concepts, this is an ideal 
volume for anyone new to the topic, as well as those already interested in 
metaphor theory and the analysis of worldviews.
