Abstract:

The popularity of Political Discourse Analysis has attracted many
metaphor researchers to study metaphor use in framing political
perspectives. Still, one fundamental research question remains as to
how metaphoricity changes in political discourse.

This book focuses on the understudied U.S.-China trade discourses,
which specifically concern trade relationships in the Clinton-Jiang
era (1993-1997) and the Trump-Xi era (2017-2021). Based on a large
governmental corpus of about 6,000,000 words, this book presents the
first transdisciplinary investigation of metaphoricity change in
U.S.-China trade discourse, from both static and dynamic perspectives.
While offering a systematic protocol of cross-linguistic metaphor
identification, the static view captures changes in source domains and
verbal metaphors across time, languages, and political genres.
Outlining a new transdisciplinary model of YinYang Dynamics of
Metaphoricity, the dynamic view examines the nature, feature, form,
pattern, and function of metaphoricity activation in governmental
texts. Besides its cognitive linguistic and corpus linguistic
approaches, this research also adopts angles of Critical Discourse
Analysis, international relations, and political history. From
multidisciplinary perspectives, it investigates the political
implications of metaphoricity change, thus shedding light on
U.S.-China trade interactions.

This book will appeal to anyone interested in variations of political
metaphors in governmental discourse. It is also a helpful source for
those who are concerned with theoretical and methodological
explorations in political metaphor research. As the first
multidisciplinary work on both metaphoricity change and discourse of
international relations, this book will attract readers who are keen
to understand the relationship between metaphoricity transformation
and global political society.
