The phenomenon known as metaphor is an extremely complex mental
event - we cannot capture its complexity if we tie ourselves to
existing standard views on metaphor. This book offers fresh insight
into metaphor, updating an established theory, conceptual metaphor
theory (CMT), in the context of current cognitive linguistic
theory, and clarifying many of the issues that researchers in the
study of metaphor have raised against conceptual metaphor theory.
Starting with an introduction to CMT, the subsequent chapters set
out propositions for Extended Conceptual Metaphor Theory, including
a discussion on whether literal language exists at all, whether
conceptual metaphors are both conceptual and contextual, and
whether they are both offline and online. Providing a fresh take on
a constantly developing field, this study will enrich the work of
researchers in areas ranging from metaphorical cognition to
literary studies.
