Corpus-Based Approaches to Metaphor and Metonymy - Paperback

by Anatol Stefanowitsch (Editor), Stefan Th Gries (Editor)

The papers in this volume deal with the issue of how corpus data relate to the questions that cognitive linguists have typically investigated with respect to conceptual mappings. The authors investigate a wide range of issues - the coherence and function of particular metaphorical models, the interaction of form and meaning, the identification of source domains of metaphorical expressions, the relationship between metaphor and discourse, the priming of metaphors, and the historical development of metaphors.
