'Metaphor', a form of figurative language in which one thing or
idea is expressed in terms of another, is becoming an increasingly
popular area of study, as it is relevant to the work of
semanticists, pragmatists, discourse analysts and also those
working at the interface of language and literature and in other
disciplines such as philosophy and psychology. This book provides a
summary, critique and comparison of the most important theories on
how metaphors are used and understood, drawing on research from
linguistics, psychology and other disciplines. In order to ground
the discussion in actual language use, the book uses examples from
discourse, including casual conversations, political speeches,
literature, humor, religion and science. Written in a non-technical
style, the book includes clear definitions, examples, discussion
questions and a glossary, making it ideal for graduate-level
seminars.
