Abstract:

This volume contains original research and innovative analyses that deepen our
understanding of figurative thought and language. The selected papers focus on
the multi-faceted aspect of figuration, its function in thought, and its
impact on areas of grammar and communication. Key topics explored include
metaphor, metonymy and their relationship to each other, as well as the less
studied figure of hyperbole and its relation to the fundamental figures of
metaphor and metonymy. Collectively, the papers examine the pragmatic
reasoning processes triggered by figurative thought, the lexicogrammatical
motivations and/or constraints on figurative language, the impact of deeply
entrenched figurative thought on the lexicon of natural languages, the
cultural origins of figurative thought, and the psycholinguistic motivations
for figuration. The comprehensive treatment of these issues is fundamental for
future research on figurative thought and language, particularly on questions
of universality vs. specificity of figuration, the impact of figuration on
constructions, cross-linguistic comparisons of figurative language, and
cognitive-pragmatic approaches to figurative meaning.
