Abstract:

The communicative act of drawing attention to metaphor is a relatively recent
topic in metaphor studies and one that has remained contentious from a
cognitive perspective. This book brings philologists of ancient languages
together with metaphor experts from several modalities to interrogate whether
ancient and modern texts and languages draw attention to figurative tropes in
similar ways. In this way, the diachronic, multimodal and pluridisciplinary
contributions to this volume critically review the theoretical frameworks
underpinning metaphor marking and metaphor analysis from a completely new
empirical basis.
