Abstract:

The phenomenon known as metaphor is an extremely complex mental event - we
cannot capture its complexity if we tie ourselves to existing standard views
on metaphor. This book offers fresh insight into metaphor, updating an
established theory, conceptual metaphor theory (CMT), in the context of
current cognitive linguistic theory, and clarifying many of the issues that
researchers in the study of metaphor have raised against conceptual metaphor
theory. Starting with an introduction to CMT, the subsequent chapters set out
propositions for Extended Conceptual Metaphor Theory, including a discussion
on whether literal language exists at all, whether conceptual metaphors are
both conceptual and contextual, and whether they are both offline and online.
Providing a fresh take on a constantly developing field, this study will
enrich the work of researchers in areas ranging from metaphorical cognition to
literary studies.

A theoretically new and comprehensive account of metaphor is developed through
updating conceptual metaphor theory in the context of current cognitive
linguistic theory

Clarifies many of the issues that researchers in the study of metaphor have
raised against conceptual metaphor theory

Makes it possible to see metaphor use as a legitimate domain of study at the
intersection of cognitive science and pragmatics

1. A brief outline of 'standard' conceptual metaphor theory and some
outstanding issues
2. The abstract understood figuratively, the concrete understood literally,
but the concrete understood figuratively?
3. Direct or indirect emergence?
4. Domain, schema, frame or space?
5. Conceptual or contextual?
6. Offline or online?
7. The shape of an extended view of conceptual metaphor theory
8. By way of conclusion: responses to the five questions.
