Abstract:

Editor’s Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced title.
The phenomenon known as metaphor is an extremely complex mental event - we
cannot capture its complexity if we tie ourselves to existing standard views
on metaphor. This book offers fresh insight into metaphor, updating an
established theory, conceptual metaphor theory (CMT), in the context of
current cognitive linguistic theory, and clarifying many of the issues that
researchers in the study of metaphor have raised against conceptual metaphor
theory. Starting with an introduction to CMT, the subsequent chapters set out
propositions for Extended Conceptual Metaphor Theory, including a discussion
on whether literal language exists at all, whether conceptual metaphors are
both conceptual and contextual, and whether they are both offline and online.
Providing a fresh take on a constantly developing field, this study will
enrich the work of researchers in areas ranging from metaphorical cognition to
literary studies.
 



1. A brief outline of 'standard' conceptual metaphor theory and some
outstanding issues; 2. The abstract understood figuratively, the concrete
understood literally, but the concrete understood figuratively?; 3. Direct or
indirect emergence?; 4. Domain, schema, frame or space?; 5. Conceptual or
contextual?; 6. Offline or online?; 7. The shape of an extended view of
conceptual metaphor theory; 8. By way of conclusion: responses to the five
questions.
