Synopsis

The book deals with the important shift that has been heralded in cognitive linguistics from mere universal matters to cultural and situational variation. The discussions examine cognitive and cultural linguistics' theories in relation to the following areas of research: (i) metaphorical conceptualization; (ii) the influence of culture on metaphor, metonymy and conceptual blends; (iii) the impact of culture and cognition on metaphorical lexis; (iv) the interface of pragmatics and cognition when metaphor is studied in situ, that is, in face-to-face as well as in virtual multimodal interaction; (v) the application of insights from metaphorical conceptualizations to language teaching, and (vi) recent methods for revealing (inter)cultural metaphorical conceptualizations (corpus-based approaches, gesture studies, etc.). The book brings together cognitive, functional, and (inter)cultural approaches.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

The book brings together contributions from the fields of cognitive and cultural linguistics discussing current issues related to metaphor from an (inter)cultural perspective. The book chapters focus on metaphorical conceptualization, the influence of culture on metaphor and metonymy, the impact of culture and cognition on metaphorical lexis, as well as the interface of pragmatics and cognition when metaphor is studied in multimodal talk-in-interaction. The volume also deals with recent methods for investigating (inter)cultural metaphorical conceptualizations, such as corpus-based and gesture studies, and illustrates applications of cognitive metaphor in foreign language teaching.
