Abstract:

This volume explains how metaphors, metonymies, and other figures of
thought interact cognitively and rhetorically to tell us what writing is
and what it should do. Drawing on interviews with writing professionals and
published commentary about writing, it argues that our everyday metaphors
and metonymies for writing are part of a figurative rhetoric of writing - a
pattern of discourse and thought that includes ways we categorize writers
and writing; stories we tell about people who write; conceptual metaphors
and metonymies used both to describe and to guide writing; and familiar,
yet surprisingly adaptable, conceptual
blends used routinely for imagining writing situations. The book will give
scholars a fresh understanding of concepts such as 'voice', 'self',
'clarity', 'power', and the most basic figure of all: 'the writer'. 

Table of Contents

1. In search of the figurative rhetoric of writing; 
2. The double-bind of writer and to write: graded categories; 
3. Bind upon bind: the general-ability and specific-expertise views of
writing; 
4. Three licensing stories: the literate inscriber, the good writer, and
the author; 
5. Writing as transcription, talk, and voice: a complex metonymy; 
6. The writing self: multiple selves, conceptual blends; 
7. Writing to 'get ideas across': the role of the conduit metaphor; 
8. Codes and conversations: the other conduit metaphor; 
9. Metaphor and choice.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.
