Abstract:
Where do our metaphors come from? Why do we say 'he has a new flame'? Why
does the colour green signify immaturity in English but strength in French?
Why can we say 'dry humour' today but not 'dry' (thin) arms as in the
Middle Ages? Metaphor Networks attempts to answer such questions by
exploring the evolution of figurative language. Richard Trim investigates
how metaphors are created today by being linked to similar concepts and how
they are associated to images in the past. The findings of this study
reveal that certain regular patterns emerge. With the aid of substantial
evidence from former and present-day European languages, the author
proposes a number of theories on metaphor evolution and thereby offers a
considerable contribution to historical linguistics.
