Originally published in 1980, this is a book about the psychology
of figurative language. It is however, eclectic and therefore
should be of interest to professionals and students in education,
linguistics, philosophy, sociolinguistics, and other concerned with
meaning and cognition. The editors felt there was a pressing need
to bring together the growing empirical efforts of this topic. In a
sense, recognition of the theoretical importance of figurative
language symbolized the transition from the psycholinguistics of
the 1960s to that of the late 1970s, that is from a linguistic
semantics to a more comprehensive psychological semantics with a
healthy respect for context, inference, world knowledge, and above
all creative imagination. The organization of the volume reflects
the more basic, general concerns with cognition - from historical
and philosophical background, through problems of mental
representation and semantic theory, to developmental trends, and to
applications in problem solving.
