Abstract:

The objective of this book is to understand variation in political metaphor.
Political metaphors are distinctive and important because they are used to
achieve political goals: to persuade, to shape expectations, to realize
specific objectives and actions. The analyses in the book go beyond the mere
identification of conceptual metaphors in discourse to show how political
metaphors function in the real world. It starts from the finding that the same
conceptual domains are used to characterize politics, political entities and
political issues. Yet, the specific metaphors used to describe these
conceptual domains often change. This book explores some of the reasons for
this variation, including features of political leaders (e.g., their age and
gender), countries, and other sociopolitical circumstances. This perspective
yields a better understanding of the role(s) of metaphors in political
discourse.
