Abstract:
The language of international relations theory and practice has traditionally
been claimed metaphorical. Among several metaphors discussed in the
literature, the 'state is a person' metaphor has been unanimously claimed as
pervading the language of world affairs. This book challenges the cognitive
dogma of the ubiquity and pervasiveness of the personification of the
political state, both in its conceptual and linguistic varieties. The detailed
data-driven research provides ample evidence against the widely held view of
the ubiquity of this metaphor. It also casts doubt on the overrated role of
metonymy in the language of international politics. Polemical in nature, the
book critiques conceptual metaphor for its contribution to the growing
ideologization of research. It offers a cognitive and realistic solution to
many of the dilemmas.
