The papers in this volume deal with the issue of how corpus data
relate to the questions that cognitive linguists have typically
investigated with respect to conceptual mappings. The authors in
this volume investigate a wide range of issues- the coherence and
function of particular metaphorical models, the interaction of form
and meaning, the identification of source domains of metaphorical
expressions, the relationship between metaphor and discourse, the
priming of metaphors, and the historical development of metaphors.
The studies deal with a variety of metaphorical and metonymic
source and target domains, including the source domains SPACE,
ANIMALS, BODY PARTS, ORGANIZATIONS and WAR, and the target domains
VERBAL ACTIVITY, ECONOMY, EMOTIONS and POLITICS. In their studies,
the authors present a variety of corpus-linguistic methods for the
investigation of conceptual mappings, for example, corpora
annotated for semantic categories, concordances of individual
source-domain items and patterns, and concordances of target-domain
items. In sum, the papers in this volume show how a wide range of
corpus-linguistic methods can be used to investigate a variety of
issues in cognitive linguistics; the combination of corpus methods
with a cognitive-linguistic view of metaphor and metonymy yields
new answers to old questions (and to new questions) about the
relationship between language as a conceptual phenomenon and
language as a textual phenomenon.
