Description
Extended Conceptual Metaphor Theory offers a fresh perspective on one of the most complex mental events in human cognition: metaphor. By updating an established theory, this book clarifies many of the issues that researchers have raised against conceptual metaphor theory.
The author sets out new propositions for Extended Conceptual Metaphor Theory, exploring questions such as whether literal language exists at all and how conceptual metaphors relate to both offline and online contexts. This study provides a valuable contribution to our understanding of metaphorical cognition and its applications in literary studies.
