Published: 2012

This book is a metaphorical journey through the English lexicon, viewed as a vehicle and a mirror of cultural identity.
From the translatability of phrases and metaphors to genre-specific terms, from English as a Lingua Franca to English language teaching, the studies collected here testify to the fact that in English - and overall in language - word contextualization or lack of contextualization impinges on linguistic utterances and leads to differing interpretations of the textual message.
The book may be of interest to a wide range of scholars and students who are concerned with the study of the English lexicon, bearing in mind that this lexicon provides the bricks of any language, and language, in turn, needs the cornerstone of Culture to stand firmly and thrive.
