Figurative
Language
This lively introduction to figurative language explains a broad range
of concepts, including metaphor, metonymy, simile, and blending, and
develops new tools for analyzing them. It coherently grounds the linguistic
understanding of these concepts in basic cognitive mechanisms such as
categorization, frames, mental spaces, and viewpoint; and it fits them
into a consistent framework which is applied to cross-linguistic data and
also to figurative structures in gesture and the visual arts. Comprehensive
and practical, the book includes analyses of figurative uses of both word
meanings and linguistic constructions.
•
Provides definitions of major concepts
•
Offers in-depth analyses of examples, exploring multiple levels of
complexity
•
Surveys figurative structures in different discourse genres
•
Helps students to connect figurative usage with the conceptual under¬
pinnings of language
•
Goes beyond English to explore cross-linguistic and cross-modal data
