基本説明
This study expands and updates the categorization of metaphoric forms in A Grammar of Metaphor (Brooke-Rose, 1958) from the perspective of Cognitive Linguistics. Metaphoric language, it is argued, piggybacks on the same patterns of constructional meaning found in non-metaphoric language. Recognizing the shared semantic structure of metaphoric and non-metaphoric language allows recent findings from Frame Semantics, Cognitive Grammar and Construction Grammar to be applied to the study of how conceptual metaphor surfaces in language.
Full Description
Frames and constructions in metaphoric language shows how linguistic metaphor piggybacks on certain patterns of constructional meaning that have already been identified and studied in non-metaphoric language. Recognition of these shared semantic structures, and comparison of their roles in metaphoric and non-metaphoric constructions, make it possible to apply findings from Frame Semantics, Cognitive Grammar and Construction Grammar to understand how conceptual metaphor surfaces in language.
