Gibbs Raymond W. Jr., Steen Gerard J. (Editors). Metaphor in Cognitive Linguistics

John Benjamins, 1999. — viii, 225 pages. — (Current Issues in Linguistic Theory 175). — ISBN: 90-272-3681-X; I 556I9 892 2.The chapters in this book differ in the extent to which the empirical work reported relates to the concerns of cognitive psychologists, philosophers, and anthropologists. Thus, the work in these chapters reflects the growing influence of cognitive linguistic ideas and research on metaphor to neighboring disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. As we note above, and as is evident in several of the chapters in this volume, especially the ones on culture, there remain real tensions between the aims and methodologies in these differing disciplines. At the very least, however, no scholarly discipline can capture significant theoretical generalizations about metaphor in language and thought without paying close attention to the continuing fruits of the cognitive linguistics tree.Kant, Blumenberg, Weinrich: Some Forgotten Contributions to the Cognitive Theory of Metaphor
