This monograph offers an analysis of the lexical domain of beauty
and other additional lexical domains that are figuratively used to
refer to beauty, highlighting their central role in the Anglo-Saxon
formulaic style. Using different methods from computational and
cognitive linguistics, this study is aimed at determining the exact
semantic value of these terms, detecting possible patterns of
metaphorization and metonymization and identifying strategies
behind their usage, ultimately determining how beauty was
conceptualised and experienced in early Medieval England and in its
literature. This research evidences the importance of this
aesthetic idea in the Old English poetry and its aesthetic paradigm
and revealing the core associations between beauty and other
religious and social ideas.
