The Extent of the Literal develops a strikingly new approach to
metaphor and polysemy in their relation to the conceptual
structure. In a straightforward narrative style, the author argues
for a reconsideration of standard assumptions concerning the notion
of literal meaning and its relation to conceptual structure. She
draws on neurophysiological and psychological experimental data in
support of a view in which polysemy belongs to the level of words
but not to the level of concepts, and thus challenges some seminal
work on metaphor and polysemy within cognitive linguistics, lexical
semantics and analytical philosophy.
