    Metaphor and Metonomy at the Crossroads A Cognitive Perspective

    2000. 23 x 15,5 cm. X, 357 pages. Cloth. DM 178,- /EUR 91,01 /�S 1299,- /sFr 158,- /approx. US$ 111.00 ISBN 3-11-0163039 (Topics in English Linguistics 30)

    The volume is a collection of essays, most of them written from a cognitive linguistics standpoint by leading specialists in the fields of conceptual metaphor and metonymy, and conceptual integration (blending). The book has two main goals. One of them is to discuss in new, provocative ways the nature of these conceptual mappings in English and their interaction. The other goal is to explore by means of several detailed case studies the central role of these mappings in English. The studies are, thus, concerned with the operation of metaphor and metonymy in discourse, including literary discourse or with the effect of metaphorical and/or metonymic mappings on some aspects of linguistic structure, be it polysemy or grammar. The book includes an introduction and a subject index. It will be of interest for students and researchers in English and linguistics, English literature, cognitive psychology and cognitive science.
