Windows to the Mind: Metaphor, Metonymy and Conceptual Blending

Hans-Jörg Schmid, Sandra Handl, "Windows to the Mind: Metaphor, Metonymy and Conceptual Blending"
English | ISBN: 3110238187 | 2011 | 324 pages | PDF | 1 MB

Focusing on a wide range of linguistic structures, the articles in this volume explore the explanatory potential of two of the most influential cognitive-linguistic theories, conceptual metaphor and metonymy theory and conceptual blending theory. Whether enthusiastic or critical in their stance, the contributors seek to enhance our understanding of how conventional as well as creative ways of thinking influence our language and vice versa.
