Abstract:
Please Note: This is a new, paperback version of a previously announced book.
"Underhill's book is simultaneously a breath of fresh air and a rich source of
stimulating insights, advancing and giving emphasis to new perspectives in
critical metaphor analysis." Professor Andrew Goatly, Lingnan University, Hong
Kong
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 United
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.
