Abstract:

Metaphor allows us to think and talk about one thing in terms of another,
ratcheting up our cognitive and expressive capacity. It gives us concrete
terms for abstract phenomena, for example, ideas become things we can grasp or
let go of. Perceptual experience—characterised as physical and relatively
concrete—should be an ideal source domain in metaphor, and a less likely
target. But is this the case across diverse languages? And are some sensory
modalities perhaps more concrete than others? This volume presents critical
new data on perception metaphors from over 40 languages, including many which
are under-studied. Aside from the wealth of data from diverse languages—modern
and historical; spoken and signed—a variety of methods (e.g., natural language
corpora, experimental) and theoretical approaches are brought together. This
collection highlights how perception metaphor can offer both a bedrock of
common experience and a source of continuing innovation in human
communication.
