Understanding figurative language - Sam Glucksberg
from metaphors to idioms
KORTE INHOUD
"Understanding Figurative Language presents an account of how people use and understand metaphors and idioms in everyday life. Traditionally, figurative language, such as metaphors and idioms, has been considered to be derived from and more complex than ostensibly straightforward literal language. Glucksberg argues instead that figurative language involves the same kinds of linguistic and pragmatic operations used for ordinary, literal language.
He puts forth a new theory of metaphor comprehension that integrates linguistic, philosophical, and psychological perspectives on figurative language."--BOOK JACKET.
