Description
Exploring how language shapes our understanding of the world, this book offers a critical introduction to metaphor theory and its application in various fields. It delves into the ways language adapts to ideological and personal interpretations of reality.
The author examines new avenues in metaphor theory through case studies on the Czech language under communist discourse and the emergence of fascism in German. The book also investigates how language systems are understood in terms of metaphorically-framed concepts evolving over time.
With a multilingual glossary of key terms and concepts, this volume is ideal for those new to the topic as well as those already familiar with metaphor theory and its analysis of worldviews.
