Abstract:

'Metaphor', a form of figurative language in which one thing or idea is
expressed in terms of another, is becoming an increasingly popular area of
study, as it is relevant to the work of semanticists, pragmatists, discourse
analysts and also those working at the interface of language and literature
and in other disciplines such as philosophy and psychology. This book provides
a summary, critique and comparison of the most important theories on how
metaphors are used and understood, drawing on research from linguistics,
psychology and other disciplines. In order to ground the discussion in actual
language use, the book uses examples from discourse, including casual
conversations, political speeches, literature, humor, religion and science.
Written in a non-technical style, the book includes clear definitions,
examples, discussion questions and a glossary, making it ideal for
graduate-level seminars.
