Abstract:

This book advances and broadens the scope of research on conceptual metaphor
at the nexus of language and culture by exploring metaphor and figurative
language as a characteristic of the many Englishes that have developed in a
wide range of geographic, socio-historical and cultural settings around the
world.

In line with the interdisciplinary breadth of this endeavour, the
contributions are grounded in Cognitive (Socio)Linguistics, Conceptual
Metaphor Theory, and Cultural Linguistics. Drawing on different research
methodologies, including corpus linguistics, elicitation techniques, and
interviews, chapters analyse a variety of naturalistic data and text types,
such as online language, narratives, political speeches and literary works.
Examining both the cultural conceptualisations underlying the use of
figurative language and the linguistic-cultural specificity of metaphor and
its variation, the studies are presented in contexts of both language contact
and second language usage. Adding to the debate on the interplay of universal
and culture-specific grounding of conceptual metaphor, "Metaphor in Language
and Culture" across World Englishes advances research in a previously
neglected sphere of study in the field of World Englishes.
