Abstract:

The contents of the volume prove the vitality of cognitive linguistic studies
of figuration when combined with new research methodologies, in tandem with
other disciplines, and also when applied to an ever broader range of topics.
Individual chapters are concerned not only with some fundamental issues of
defining and delimiting metaphor and metonymy, with the impact of figuration
on grammatical forms, but are also exemplary discussions of how figurative
language is processed and understood, as well as studies of practical
ramifications of the use of figurative language in various types of discourse
(the language of media, politics and healthcare communication). Most of the
volume assumes a synchronic perspective, but diachronic coverage of processes
is not missing either. In short, the volume demonstrates how rewarding it is
to return to the true origins of cognitive linguistics for new inspiration and
take a fresh start promising a true cornucopia of future results.
