Description du produit

Metaphor is an accessible introduction to current thinking on metaphor, suitable for undergraduates and non-specialists. It explains key ideas on metaphor and supplies a coherent overview of the last twenty years of research and its effects on our understanding of language, culture, and mind. As with metaphor itself, its target market extends to cognitive science, theoretical and applied linguistics, English psychology, communications, literature, rhetoric and other areas.
This book is a much needed primer that will be indispensible as a classroom text and to the general reader.
