Introducing Metaphor (Hardcover, New)

Introducing Metaphor provides an excellent introduction to the theory and applications of metaphor in text analysis. Beginning with an overview of the basic concepts of literal and non-literal language, the book then progresses to areas such as multiword metaphor and psycholinguistic processing. The authors then proceed to demonstrate how metaphor is used in various kinds of writing, including literature, journalism from the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, showing that metaphor can be used to mediate political opinion. Moon and Murray also examine metaphor in relation to lifestyle, health and food and relate these examples back to the theory of metaphor and ideology. A much needed introductory text, Introducing Metaphor will provide students with a clear overview of the key areas in this widely studied subject and includes a conclusion looking at researching metaphor, a glossary, and annotated further reading.
