In this ambitious and wide-ranging book, Andrew Goatly looks at how we use metaphor to communicate meaning. Combining insights from functional linguistics and relevance theory, he provides a powerful model for understanding how metaphors work in real communicative situations, how we use them to communicate meaning and how we process them.

It discusses recent developments in metaphor research by key figures such as Lynne Cameron, Jonathan Charteris-Black, Alice Deignan, Rachel Giora, Veronika Koller, Zoltan Kovecses, Andreas Musolff and Elena Semino. The Language of Metaphorsprovides the ideal introduction to metaphors for all students and researchers with an interest in communication, language, literature and psychology. | The Language of Metaphors by Andrew Goatly, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
