This innovative volume provides a comprehensive integrated account
of the study of conceptual figures, demonstrating the ways in which
figures and in particular, conflictual figures, encapsulate
linguistic expression in the fullest sense and in turn, how
insights gleaned from their study can contribute to the wider body
of linguistic research. With a specific focus on metaphor and
metonymy, the book offers a unified and systematic typology of
linguistic figures, drawing on a number of different approaches,
including both traditional and emerging frameworks within cognitive
linguistics as well as syntactic theory, while also providing an
exhaustive look at the unique features of a variety of conceptual
figures, including metaphor, metonymy, oxymoron, and synecdoche. In
its aim of reconciling historically opposed theoretical approaches
to the study of conflictual figures while also incorporating a
thorough account of its distinctive varieties, this volume will be
essential reading for researchers and scholars in cognitive
linguistics, theoretical linguistics, philosophy of language, and
literary studies.
