Abstract:

Metaphor in Specialist Discourse presents multiple perspectives on metaphor
use in specialist and popularized discourse contexts. Using genre and register
as starting parameters for deeper exploration, and pushing the boundaries
further to open up new areas and possibilities, ten independent articles
investigate metaphor use across a range of specialist domains of discourse,
such as biology research articles, psychological counseling, soccer
commentaries, workfloor communication, and penal policy documents. Framed by
two theoretical chapters, the book is a contribution to the study of metaphor
use in distinct discourse settings that will be of value to linguists and
metaphor scholars of different persuasions, graduate students of linguistics
and related disciplines, and practitioners of specialized areas with an
interest in (verbal or gestural) language use in their areas of expertise. It
shows that aspects of discourse variation are the beginning of, not an
afterthought to, accurate empirical metaphor studies.
