What can cognitive linguistics tell us, not just about linguistic meaning, but a wide variety of linguistic and cultural phenomena?
Zoltán Kövecses is Professor of Linguistics in the Department of American Studies at Eötvös Lora'and University, Budapest. He is the author of Metaphor: A Practical Introduction (OUP, 2002).
This newest addition to the Kövecses canon will
stand as one of his most engaging and conclusive works. Thus, it is
highly recommended for all metaphor
researchers and scholars. For a broader readership, the book is
engaging as well as pedagogical. Thus, it is
highly recommended as a fine overall introduction to the cognitive
linguistics of metaphor and as an
exceptional overview of the important roles of culture, history,
and of course, context in figurative
communication.
