Confronting Metaphor in Use : An applied linguistic approach PDF
Edited by Zanotto Mara Sophia Zanotto, Cameron Lynne Cameron, Cavalcanti Marilda C. Cavalcanti
Part of the Pragmatics & Beyond New Series series
Description
It is timely for researchers to approach metaphor as social and situated, as a matter of language and discourse, and not just as a matter of thought.
Over the last twenty five years, scholars have come to appreciate in depth the cognitive, motivated and embodied nature of metaphor, but have tended to background the linguistic form of metaphor and have largely ignored how this connects to its role in the discourses in which our lives are constructed and lived.
This book brings language and social dimensions into the picture, offering snapshots of metaphor use in real language and in real lives across the very different cultures of Europe and Brazil and contributing to the theorizing of metaphor in discourse.
