Abstract:

This book combines explanatory breadth with analytical delicacy. It offers a
comprehensive study of a broad array of traditional figures of speech by
systematizing linguistic evidence of the cognitive processes underlying them.
Such processes are explicitly linked to different communicative consequences,
thus bringing together pragmatics and cognition. This type of study has
allowed the authors to provide new definitions for all the figures while
making their dependency relations fully explicit. For example, hypallage,
antonomasia, anthimeria, and merism are studied as variants of metonymy, and
analogy, paragon, and allegory as variants of metaphor. An important feature
of the book is its special emphasis on the combinations of figures of speech
into conceptually more complex configurations. Finally, the book accounts for
the principles that regulate the felicity of figurative expressions. The
result is a broad integrative framework for the analysis of figurative
language grounded in the relationship between pragmatics and cognition.
