Abstract:

This book describes methods, risks, and challenges involved in the
construction of metaphor and metonymy digital repositories. The first part of
this volume showcases established and new projects around the world in which
metaphors and metonymies are harvested and classified. The second part
provides a series of cognitive linguistic studies focused on highlighting and
discussing theoretical and methodological risks and challenges involved in
building these digital resources. The volume is a result of an
interdisciplinary collaboration between cognitive linguists, psychologists,
and computational scientists supporting an overarching idea that metaphor and
metonymy play a central role in human cognition, and that they are deeply
entrenched in recurring patterns of bodily experience. Throughout the volume,
a variety of methods are proposed to collect and analyze both conceptual
metaphors and metonymies and their linguistic and visual expressions.
