Автор: Chris Mengying Xia Название: Acquiring Metaphorical Expressions in a Second Language: Performance by Chinese Learners of English ISBN: 135024449X ISBN-13(EAN): 9781350244498 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 33780.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Conventional metaphorical expressions are widely used by native speakers in everyday language and have received extensive attention in theoretical semantics and cognitive linguistics. However, how a second language learner can acquire those expressions is left largely unknown. Researchers and language learners face the question: if one has acquired the literal meaning of a word, can they automatically derive the metaphorical meaning?
This book provides the answer by placing the question of acquisition of metaphorical expressions in the framework of bilingual lexicon. Assessing whether metaphorical expressions are taken for granted by second language learners, it explores how the metaphorical meaning(s) of a word should be connected in a learner’s mental lexicon, and how the cross-linguistic availability of a metaphorical expression could affect the outcome of acquisition of that expression. The book also provides a detailed comparison between metaphorical expressions and other figurative language from both the theoretical and experimental perspectives.

Автор: Johan Joode, de Название: Metaphorical Landscapes and the Theology of the Book of Job: An Analysis of Job`s Spatial Metaphors ISBN: 9004388842 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789004388840 Издательство: Brill Цена: 152750.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Metaphorical Landscapes and the Theology of the Book of Job demonstrates how spatial metaphors play a crucial role in the theology of the book of Job. Themes as pivotal as trauma, ill-being, retribution, and divine character are conceptualized in terms of space; its imagery is thus dependent on spatial configurations, such as boundaries, distance, direction, containment, and contact. Not only are spatial metaphors ubiquitous in the book of Job—possibly the most frequent conceptual metaphors in the book—they are essential to its theological reasoning. Job’s spatial metaphors form a metaphorical landscape in which God’s character and his creation are challenged in unprecedented ways. In the theophany, God reacts to that landscape. This book introduces a pragmatic synthesis of both conceptual metaphor theory and spatial semantics and it demonstrates their exegetical and hermeneutic potential.
Автор: Beth M. Stovell Название: Mapping Metaphorical Discourse in the Fourth Gospel: John`s Eternal King ISBN: 9004223614 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789004223615 Издательство: Brill Цена: 227130.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: In Mapping Metaphorical Discourse in the Fourth Gospel, Beth M. Stovell examines themetaphor of Jesus as king throughout the Fourth Gospel using an interdisciplinary metaphor theory incorporatingcognitive and systemic functional linguistic approaches with literary approaches. Stovell argues that the theme ofJesus as king provides one of the unifying themes of John’s overall message. Examining the place of the OldTestament metaphors of Messiah, “eternal life/life of the age,” shepherd, and exaltation in the conceptualmetaphorical network of John’s Gospel, Stovell asserts that John’s Gospel describes the just character of Jesus’kingship, the subversion of power implicit in his crucified form of kingship, and the necessity of response to Jesus asking and his reign.

Описание:
The book deals with the important shift that has been heralded in cognitive linguistics from mere universal matters to cultural and situational variation. The discussions examine cognitive and cultural linguistics’ theories in relation to the following areas of research: (i) metaphorical conceptualization; (ii) the influence of culture on metaphor, metonymy and conceptual blends; (iii) the impact of culture and cognition on metaphorical lexis; (iv) the interface of pragmatics and cognition when metaphor is studied in situ, that is, in face-to-face as well as in virtual multimodal interaction; (v) the application of insights from metaphorical conceptualizations to language teaching, and (vi) recent methods for revealing (inter)cultural metaphorical conceptualizations (corpus-based approaches, gesture studies, etc.). The book brings together cognitive, functional, and (inter)cultural approaches.

Описание: When Hillary Clinton conceded in 2008 that she didn`t quite `shatter the glass ceiling`, she used an abbreviated metaphorical story, in which stories about one topic are presented as stories about something entirely different. This book examines metaphorical stories as a means to a deeper understanding of ordinary communication.
