In this ambitious and wide-ranging book, Andrew Goatly looks at how
we use metaphor to communicate meaning. Combining insights from
functional linguistics and relevance theory, he provides a powerful
model for understanding how metaphors work in real communicative
situations, how we use them to communicate meaning and how we
process them. Drawing on substantial linguistic corpora including
literary works by William Golding, TS Eliot, Ezra Pound, George
Eliot and AS Byatt, articles from national newspapers and extracts
from popular and advertising culture, this book: examines the
distinction between literal and metaphorical language surveys the
means by which metaphors are expressed in texts locates the
interpretation of metaphor in its social context contains tasks and
suggestions for further work The second edition has been revised to
include relevant examples, updated texts and new lexical data. It
discusses recent developments in metaphor research by key figures
such as Lynne Cameron, Jonathan Charteris-Black, Alice Deignan,
Rachel Giora, Veronika Koller, Zoltan Kovecses, Andreas Musolff and
Elena Semino. The Language of Metaphors provides the ideal
introduction to metaphors for all students and researchers with an
interest in communication, language, literature and psychology.
