Abstract:

This book is dedicated to the issue of animal metaphor together with its
intricacies and internal complexity. Its main objective is to present a
unified picture of the role animal terms have played in the shape of English
and other natural languages. The author addresses such aspects of animal
metaphor as the problem of animal names used as surnames, so-called verbal and
adjectival zoosemy, or the use of names of animal body parts with reference to
people. The cognitively-oriented analysis is carried out in terms of the
Conceptual Metaphor Theory, which is capable of accounting for semantic change
in a panchronic perspective. The results show that virtually any facet of
humanity, which is beyond the norm, may be viewed, perceived, conceived of and
expressed in animal terms.
