The Routledge Handbook of Metaphor and Language provides a
comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art interdisciplinary
research on metaphor and language. Featuring 35 chapters written by
leading scholars from around the world, the volume takes a broad
view of the field of metaphor and language, and brings together
diverse and distinct theoretical and applied perspectives to cover
six key areas: Theoretical approaches to metaphor and language,
covering Conceptual Metaphor Theory, Relevance Theory, Blending
Theory and Dynamical Systems Theory; Methodological approaches to
metaphor and language, discussing ways of identifying metaphors in
verbal texts, images and gestures, as well as the use of corpus
linguistics; Formal variation in patterns of metaphor use across
text types, historical periods and languages; Functional variation
of metaphor, in contexts including educational, commercial,
scientific and political discourse, as well as online trolling; The
applications of metaphor for problem solving, in business,
education, healthcare and conflict situations; Language, metaphor,
and cognitive development, examining the processing and
comprehension of metaphors. The Routledge Handbook of Language and
Metaphor is a must-have survey of this key field, and is essential
reading for those interested in language and metaphor.
