Description

Metaphor is recognised as an important way of thinking - constructing analogies and making connections between ideas - and an important way of using language - to explain abstract ideas or to find indirect but powerful ways of conveying feelings. By investigating people's use of metaphors, we can better understand their emotions, attitudes and conceptualisations, as individuals and as participants in social life. This book describes practice in the analysis of metaphor in real-world discourse. When real-world language use is taken as the site of metaphor study, researchers face methodological issues that have only recently begun to be addressed. The contributors to this volume have all had to find ways to deal with methodological issues in their own research and have developed techniques that are brought together here. Using as a basis the discourse dynamics approach to metaphor developed by the editor, the book explores links between theory and empirical investigation, exemplifies data analysis and discusses issues in research design and practice. Particular attention is paid to the processes of metaphor identification, categorisation and labelling, and to the use of corpus linguistic and other computer-assisted methods. Review A ground-breaking collection of research essays demonstrating the crucial role of metaphor in organisation and reconstruction of discourse flow. The volume is a valuable addition to the current paradigm shift in metaphor research. It also delivers an extraordinary attempt to heighten the scientific credibility of metaphor analysis and to make metaphor research more fulfilling and rewarding. Metaphor and the Social World This volume is an important contribution to advancing the methodology needed to analyze metaphors found in naturally occurring discourse. Metaphor and Symbol Overall, Metaphor Analysis is metaphor-researcher-friendly, and makes a worthwhile theoretical and methodological contribution to metaphor research, in particular ‘metaphor in discourse’ research.
