In this innovative collection, an international group of
scholars come together to discuss literary metaphors and cognitive
metaphor theory. The volume's goals are three-fold. The first aim
of the book is to present some recent approaches to metaphor which
have no immediate connection with cognitive metaphor theory and
have developed independently of it. While the cognitive approach
has become the leading paradigm in the English speaking world,
elsewhere (in Europe) rhetorical, semantic, and logical models have
remained in use and continue to be elaborated. These models have so
far had little international exposure. Their inclusion in this
study is meant to provide a balance to the cognitive paradigm and
to open up a possible discussion of the advantages and
disadvantages of cognitive metaphor theory for the analysis of
literary texts. The second aim of the collection is to illustrate a
range of successful applications of the new cognitive models to
literary texts. And, the third aim of the study is to provide an
assessment of cognitive metaphor theory from a literary point of
view.
