About the Book

The Routledge Handbook of Metaphor and Language provides a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art interdisciplinary research on metaphor and language. Featuring 35 chapters written by leading scholars from around the world, the volume takes a broad view of the field of metaphor and language, and brings together diverse and distinct theoretical and applied perspectives to cover six key areas: Theoretical approaches to metaphor and language, covering Conceptual Metaphor Theory, Relevance Theory, Blending Theory and Dynamical Systems Theory; Methodological approaches to metaphor and language, discussing ways of identifying metaphors in verbal texts, images and gestures, as well as the use of corpus linguistics; Formal variation in patterns of metaphor use across text types, historical periods and languages; Functional variation of metaphor, in contexts including educational, commercial, scientific and political discourse, as well as online trolling; The applications of metaphor for problem solving, in business, education, healthcare and conflict situations; Language, metaphor, and cognitive development, examining the processing and comprehension of metaphors. The Routledge Handbook of Language and Metaphor is a must-have survey of this key field, and is essential reading for those interested in language and metaphor.

Review :
"The Routledge Handbook of Metaphor and Language provides a comprehensive and authoritative overview of interdisciplinary knowledge of metaphor. Bringing together work from a wide range of reputed scholars of metaphor it displays a well-conceived balance between theory, methodology and application. As well as offering practical insights into the methodology of metaphor researchers it is testimony to the continuing fascination that metaphor holds for those interested in exploring the complex relationship between language, cognition and the role of language in the construction of the social world." Jonathan Charteris-Black, University of the West of England, UK "For technical communicators who have an interest in language and how it works, this Handbook would be a valuable asset. ... Students, in technical communication classes and other language classes, as well as their faculty, will also find value in the Handbook." Tom Warren, Oklahoma State Universtiy, USA
