| Description: |
Each author contributes an essay to this volume, ranging from a survey of metalinguistic metaphors by Johan Vanparys to a discussion of metaphor, schema and invariance by Brygida Rudzka-Ostyn. |
| Synopsis: |
This volume contains seven synchronic and diachronic empirical investigations into the expression and conceptualization of linguistic action in English, focusing on figurative extensions. The following issues are explored: * Source domains, and their relation to the complexities of linguistic action as a target domain. * The role of axiological parameter, the experiential grounding of metaphors expressing value judgements and the part played by image-schemata, how value judgements come about and their socio-cultural embedding. * The graded character of metaphoricity and its correlation with degrees of recoverability/salience. * The interaction of metonymy and metaphor, e.g. the question what factors motivate the conventionalization of metonymies, which includes the perspective that conventionalized metaphors frequently have a metonymic origin. * The role of image-schemata in the organization and development of a lexical subfield, which raises new questions on the nature of metaphor, the identification of source and target domains and the Invariance Hypothesis. |
