Metaphor in Discourse
Metaphor is the phenomenon whereby we talk and, potentially, think about
something in terms of something else. In this book Elena
Semino
discusses
metaphor as a common linguistic occurrence, which is varied in its textual
appearance, versatile in the functions it may perform, and central to many
different types of communication, from informal interaction to political
speeches. She discusses the use of metaphor across a variety of texts and
genres from literature, politics, science, education, advertising and the dis¬
course of mental illness. Each chapter includes detailed case studies focusing
on specific texts, from election leaflets to specialist scientific articles. Also
included is a detailed consideration of corpus (computer-based) methods of
analysis. Wide-ranging and informative, this book will be invaluable to those
interested in metaphor from a range of disciplines.

English Language at Lancaster University. Her previous publications include

sentation in a Corpus of English Writing
