Abstract:

This volume deals with core issues in figurative language and figurative
thought. It also explores areas of convergence between idealised cognitive
models and language across fourteen European and non-European languages
(Croatian, English, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Persian, Polish,
Russian, Old Saxon, Sicilian, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish).

The collection foregrounds the relationship that holds between literalness and
figurativeness in meaning construction, it emphasises the role of conceptual
metonymy and metaphor as the main cognitive tools at work in inferential
activity and as generators of discourse ties, and it also depicts the import
of cognitive models in the production and interpretation of multimodal
communication. In addition, a number of more specific topics are addressed
from different perspectives, such as language variation and cultural models,
the argumentative role of metaphor in discourse and the role of empirical work
in cognitive linguistics.
