Abstract:

This collection contains a selection of recent work on people’s production of
figurative language (metaphoric, ironic, metonymic, hyperbolic, ...) and
similarly of figurative expression in visual media and artefact design. The
articles illuminate issues such as why and under what circumstances people
produce figurative expression and how it is moulded by their aims. By focusing
on production, the intention is to help stimulate more academic research on it
and redress historically lower levels of published work on generation than on
understanding of figurative expression. The contributions stretch across
various academic disciplines—mainly psychology, cognitive linguistics and
applied linguistics, but with a representation also of philosophy and
artificial intelligence—and across different types of endeavour—theoretical
investigation and model building, experimental studies, and applications
focussed work (for instance, figurative expression in product design and
online support groups). There is also a wide-ranging introductory chapter that
touches on areas outside the scope of the contributed articles and discusses
difficult issues such as a complex interplay of production and understanding.
