Abstract:

Intersubjectivity and usage play central roles in figurative language and are
pivotal notions for a cognitively realistic research on figures of thought,
speech, and communication. This volume brings together thirteen studies that
explore the relationship between figurativity, intersubjectivity and usage
from the Cognitive Linguistics perspective. The studies explore the impact of
figurativity on areas of lexicon and grammar, on real discourse, and across
different semiotic systems. Some studies focus on the psychological processes
of the comprehension of figurativity; other studies address the ways in which
figures of thought and language are socially shared and the variation of
figures through time and space. Moreover, some contributions are established
on advanced corpus-based techniques and experimental methods. There are
studies about metaphor, metonymy, irony and puns; about related processes,
such as humor, empathy and ambiguation; and about the interaction between
figures. Overall, this volume offers the advantages and the opportunities of
an interactional and usage-based perspective of figurativity, embracing both
the psychological and the intersubjective reality of figurative thought and
language and empirically emphasizing the multidimensional character of
figurativity, its central function in thought, and its impact on everyday
communication.
