Routledge, 2017. — 560 p.

Peter Lang GmbH, 2014. — 324 p. The investigation of metaphor and metonymy has been a hallmark of Cognitive Linguistics ever since the early days of this approach to language.

Berrett-Koehler Publishers, Inc., 2008. — 204 p. The workplace is a “blink” world: studies show that we form opinions of one another within seven seconds of meeting and that 93 percent of the messages people receive from us have nothing to do with what we actually say. So the ability to recognize and develop good nonverbal communication skills can be a huge professional...
Cambridge University Press, 2003. — 384 p.

Cognitive Semiotics, 2009. — 18 p. Contrary to what is assumed in Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT), the conceptual power of metaphor may not lie in its widespread unconscious use but in its more limited and targeted deliberate use, which may or may not give rise to conscious metaphorical cognition.

John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2008. — 205 p.

Lexington Books, 2008. — 245 p. In this book we argue that the mainstream media can act as a stenographer to power, “spin” even horrific acts of brutality, and characterize opposition as disloyalty.

Sage Publications, 2000. — 213 p. Practices like teaching and assessing communication skills or offering advice on ‘better conversations’ fall into the category of what I have elsewhere labelled ‘verbal hygiene’ (Cameron, 1995), meaning attempts to ‘clean up’ language-use so it conforms to particular standards of correctness, clarity, efficiency, beauty or morality. Verbal...
