    Wann, wie und wozu werden Metaphern verwendet? Auf der Basis von elektronischen Korpora erforscht diese Studie Muster metaphorischer Sprachverwendungen in unterschiedlichen Diskursen und Genres, dies insbesondere in politischen Reden und Gedichten. Die Kognitive Poetik erfasst die Wirkungsweisen dieser Muster; im Zentrum steht die kreative Metapher. Mit dieser Studie können kreative Metaphern (und verwandte Formen der Uneigentlichkeit) in unterschiedlichen Genres erkannt und analysiert werden.

    Im Band werden Fälle metaphorischen Sprachgebrauchs im Altgriechischen aus den Quellbereichen (source domains) Temperatur, Gewicht und Geschmack gesammelt und analysiert, die zur Äußerung von Emotionen dienen. Der metaphorische Sprachgebrauch stellt in den letzten Jahren einen Schwerpunkt der Forschung verschiedener Disziplinen dar. Denn im Gegensatz zum früheren, traditionellen Verständnis von Metaphern als dekorativen und eher dichterischen Stilmitteln wurde in der neueren Forschung gezeigt, dass es sich bei Metaphern um einen Bestandteil alltäglicher Sprache handelt und dass sie kognitive Prozesse darstellen. Im Bereich der klassischen Philologie konzentrierte sich die bisherige Forschung auf literarische Texte. Von besonderem Interesse für die Untersuchung des metaphorischen Sprachgebrauchs im Altgriechischen ist aber auch die Heranziehung der dokumentarischen Texte, die aufgrund ihres besonderen Charakters und ihres engen Bezugs zur alltäglichen Lebenswelt der Schreibenden einen Einblick in die gesprochene Sprache vermitteln können.

    If thinking can be fast or slow, metaphorical thinking can be fast and slow too. But metaphorical thinking does not occur as often and in the ways that many metaphor scholars today think. Slow metaphorical thinking does mean, however, that we can exert more control over metaphor than has previously been acknowledged. We can even offer resistance to metaphor. Deliberate Metaphor Theory (DMT) claims that there is an essential processing difference between non-deliberate and deliberate metaphor use which can explain all this. This book is the first full account of the DMT model for metaphor comprehension. It presents explicit conceptualization and formal operationalization, and is based on a well-known cognitive-psychological model for all utterance comprehension in discourse. The original three-dimensional model of DMT is here refined into a four-dimensional model, which reveals new research questions and discoveries about the use of metaphor. The book brings together numerous cognitive-scientific insights into metaphor. It has a high degree of interdisciplinary accessibility to all students of metaphor, whether master students, PhDs, post docs, or established academics.

    This study presents an approach to metaphor that systematically takes contextual factors into account. It analyses how metaphors both depend on, and change, the context in which they are uttered, and specifically, how metaphorical interpretation involves the articulation of asserted, implied and presupposed material. It supplements this semantic analysis with a practice-based account of metaphor at the conceptual level, which stresses the role of sociocultural factors in concept formation.

    On Metaphoring engages in a metaphor-way to communicate and inter-learn among cultures. Bundle A describes how metaphor bundles things similar into a group called a "notion", a "category", etc. How does metaphor bundle things? It familiarizes strange things with things that are familiar, to enrich old familiar things with new things newly made familiar. Such metaphoric bundling creates a new family of knowledge. In this order Bundle B characterizes metaphor as the origin of thinking, fit as a highway of intercultural communication where there is no shared way of thinking, for each culture is a specific way of thinking. Bundle C shows how effective metaphor is in interculturally handling various problems of life and thinking. How metaphor works to interculture exhibits in fact what metaphor is. Such is how cultures understand one another, a "cultural hermeutic".

    This study examines the transmission and transformation of commonplace wisdom in Renaissance humanism by tracing a series of filiations between classical sayings, anecdotes, and exampes and Renaissance poems, essays, and fictions. The circulation of commonplaces can be understood either as a process of reanimation and revitalization, where frozen sayings thaw out and come to life, or conversely as a process of immobilization and incrustation that petrifies tradition. The paradigmatic figure for this process is the proverbial dance around the well, which expresses both the danger and the compulsion of borrowed speech.

    Das Scheitern ist ein besonders sensibler Punkt im gesellschaftlichen Zusammenspiel. An der Schnittstelle von Kunst- und Sozialwissenschaft sucht Nicole Alber nach seinen Repräsentationen und Bedeutungen in der bildenden Kunst: Ausgewählte Werke der Videoperformance sollen Aufschluss über die politische Dimension von Motiven wie dem Fall oder dem Schiffbruch geben. Dabei wird deutlich: Bas Jan Ader, Cathy Sisler und Francis Alÿs setzen das Scheitern exzessiv, ironisch oder subversiv in Szene, um es radikal zu hinterfragen und inhaltlich neu zu besetzen. Sie ermutigen, das Scheitern anders zu denken, und eröffnen neue Handlungsräume.

    While the role of metaphor in economics and business has produced multiple research articles, no comprehensive book-length study has yet appeared. The present book is a timely attempt to fill this gap, giving a global coverage of the role of metaphor in business and economics. It spans time (from Classical Greece to the current business network meeting-room), space (from Europe through the Americas to Asia), cultures and languages (from continental European languages, Brazilian Portuguese to Chinese). The theoretical grounding of the book is the Conceptual Theory of Metaphor taken in a dynamic sense as evolving with on-going research. The theory is thus used, adapted and refined in accordance with the evidence provided. Metaphor is shown to be theory constitutive in the elaboration of economic thinking down through the ages while, at the same time, the emphasis on evidence open to historical, cross-cultural and cross-linguistic considerations align with the current notion of situatedness. The book is a rich source of information for researchers and students in the fields of Metaphor Studies, Economics, Discourse Analysis, and Communication Studies, among others.

    This collection of papers presents some recent trends in metaphor studies that propose new directions of research on the embodied cognition perspective. The overall volume, in particular, shows how the embodied cognition still remains a relevant approach in a multidisciplinary research on the communicative side of metaphors, by focusing on both comprehension processes in science as well as learning processes in education.

    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.

    Metaphoric language is very much the product of human action, and many scholars now claim that metaphor in language arises from metaphors in thought. But the reasons for why we think metaphorically and speak (gesture) in these ways may be rooted in principles of self-organization that describe the existence, and forms, of many other animate and inanimate things, ranging from snowflakes to termite nests. This chapter describes the benefits of looking at metaphor from a self-organizational point of view, known as dynamical systems theory, and suggests how this perspective can solve several long-

    This book represents a bold attempt to address contemporary issues in both metaphor and psychotherapy research. On one hand, metaphor research is increasingly concerned not just with describing metaphors in discourse, but how they could be used more adroitly in purposive 'real world' contexts such as psychotherapy. On the other hand, while a growing number of mental health professionals believe that metaphors contribute in some way to the psychotherapy process, their ability and willingness to use metaphors might be compromised by a relative unfamiliarity with the various nuanced aspects of metaphor theory. The present analysis of metaphors in authentic psychotherapeutic talk brings these theoretical aspects to the forefront, and suggests how they can be applied to enhance the use of communication of metaphors in psychotherapy. It should be of interest to metaphor researchers, mental health professionals, and discourse analysts in general.

    Metaphern beeinflussen unser Denken, unsere alltägliche und auch wissenschaftliche Sprache. Sie lassen Ähnlichkeiten erkennen und schaffen neues Wissen. Da unsere Kultur, unser Denken und Handeln aber zunehmend von Bildern geprägt ist, muss es dann nicht auch visuelle Metaphern geben? Und welche Bedeutung misst man ihnen bei?Till Julian Huss arbeitet erstmals die historischen und systematischen Grundlagen einer Theorie der visuellen Metapher aus. Indem das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Metapher und Begriff sowie Sprache und Bild in den Kontext einer allgemeinen Ästhetik der Metapher gestellt wird, nimmt die Metapher eine Schlüsselfunktion zwischen Sprache, Anschauung und Denken ein.

    Metaphern und Metonymien sind Phänomene, die unser Denken, Sprechen und Handeln bestimmen und sich u.a. sprachlich manifestieren.Im Hinblick auf die Analyse von Metaphern und Metonymien sind gegenwärtig Tendenzen zu beobachten, die die Phänomene nicht mehr ausschließlich aus kognitiver Perspektive betrachten, da eine ausschließlich kognitive Beschreibung von Metaphern und Metonymien zu kurz greift. Stattdessen werden integrative und interdisziplinäre Ansätze verfolgt, die empirisch orientiert sind und neben kognitiven vor allem soziopragmatische, historische oder sprachvergleichende Aspekte in die Analyse integrieren. Der Sammelband greift diese aktuellen Tendenzen auf. Auf der Basis empirischer Untersuchungen von Metaphern und Metonymien sowohl aus einzelsprachlicher, sprachvergleichender und interdisziplinärer Perspektive werden in den einzelnen Beiträgen theoretische und methodische Fragestellungen diskutiert sowie neue Perspektiven der Forschung eröffnet.

    This comparative study of Chinese and English metaphor contributes to the search for metaphoric universals by placing the contemporary theory of metaphor in a broad cross-linguistic and cross-cultural perspective. The author explores to what degree abstract reasoning is metaphorical and which conceptual metaphors are culture specific, wide spread or universal in a cognitive and cultural context.The empirical studies presented reinforce the view that metaphor is the main mechanism through which abstract concepts are comprehended and abstract reasoning is performed. They also support, from

    While the role of metaphor in economics and business has produced multiple research articles, no comprehensive book-length study has yet appeared. The present book is a timely attempt to fill this gap, giving a global coverage of the role of metaphor in business and economics. It spans time (from Classical Greece to the current business network meeting-room), space (from Europe through the Americas to Asia), cultures and languages (from continental European languages, Brazilian Portuguese to Chinese). The theoretical grounding of the book is the Conceptual Theory of Metaphor taken in a dynamic sense as evolving with on-going research. The theory is thus used, adapted and refined in accordance with the evidence provided. Metaphor is shown to be theory constitutive in the elaboration of economic thinking down through the ages while, at the same time, the emphasis on evidence open to historical, cross-cultural and cross-linguistic considerations align with the current notion of situatedness. The book is a rich source of information for researchers and students in the fields of Metaphor Studies, Economics, Discourse Analysis, and Communication Studies, among others.

    Tropen sind nicht nur rhetorische Mittel, die in der Dichtung und in der öffentlichen Rede als kreative und/oder persuasive Sprachmittel Verwendung finden. Sie sind auch ein kognitives Instrumentarium, mit dessen Hilfe sich die Menschen die Welt verständlich machen und durch das sich ihr Weltverständnis ausdrückt. Indem sie unserer Weltwahrnehmung und auch schon unserem alltäglichen Sprechen zugrunde liegen, muss - spätestens seit Nietzsches grundsätzlicher Wahrheitsskepsis angesichts der Ubiquität des sog. "übertragenen Sprachgebrauchs" - die Frage nach der Möglichkeit der Wahrheit Tropen enthaltender Sätze gestellt werden. - 18 Beiträge von Linguisten, Philosophen, Psychologen und Literaturwissenschaftlern sind im vorliegenden Band versammelt. Ihre 21 Autoren versuchen, Metapher, Metonymie, Synekdoche, Ironie, Euphemismus, Antonomasie und Hyperbel aus ihrer jeweiligen fachlichen bzw. paradigmatischen Sicht zu bestimmen, vor allem aber gehen sie den Fragen nach, ob und inwieweit die genannten Tropen enthaltende Äußerungen auf den Ausdruck von Wahrheit (oder Falschheit) überhaupt Anspruch erheben können. Tropes are not only rhetorical means, which are used as a creative and / or persuasive linguistic means in poetry and public speech. They are also a cognitive tool which helps people to understand the world and to express their world. As they are the basis on which our worldview and even our everyday speech is founded, the question must be posed as to whether utterances containing tropes can be said to be true. This has been an epistemological problem since Nietzsche expressed his doubts about the possibility that figurative language could give access to truth. However, since then research has paid little attention to this question. -18 papers by linguists, philosophers, psychologists and literary scholars have been collected in this volume. Their 21 authors use various approaches or paradigms in order to define metaphor, metonymy, synecdoche, irony, euphemism, antonomasia and hyperbole and find an answer to the crucial epistemological questions, namely whether and to what extent utterances containing tropes can be said to be true or false.

    When the last speaker of a language dies, s/he takes to oblivion the memories, associations and the rich imagery this language community has once lived by. The cultural heritage encoded in conventional linguistic metaphors, handed down through generations, will be lost forever. This volume consists of fifteen articles about metaphors in endangered languages, from Peru to Alaska, from India to Ghana.The empirical data demonstrate that the assumptions of contemporary cognitive linguistic theory about "universal" metaphors and the underlying cognitive processes are still far from plausible,

    Politik und ihre Vermittlung erfolgen vermehrt über mediale bildliche Kommunikation. Ein Verständnis für politische Vorgänge entsteht daher oft über ein spezifisches Bilderverständnis. Politische Bilder erzählen und deuten (retrospektive) Geschichte(n) und beeinflussen Verhalten und Denkweisen, indem sie Machtverhältnisse erzeugen, spiegeln, legitimieren und verfestigen. Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes entwickeln daher Ansätze für eine fundierte Bildlesekompetenz im Rahmen politischer Bildung und liefern einen inter- und transdisziplinären bildanalytischen Werkzeugkasten zur Decodierung von politischen Bildern mittels generalisierender Analyseelemente.

    When Hillary Clinton conceded in 2008 that she didn't quite 'shatter the glass ceiling', and when Rick Perry in 2012 called Mitt Romney a 'vulture capitalist', they used abbreviated metaphorical stories, in which stories about one topic are presented as stories about something entirely different. This book examines a wide range of metaphorical stories, beginning with literary genres such as allegories and fables, then focusing on metaphorical stories in ordinary conversations, political speeches, editorial cartoons, and other communication. Sometimes metaphorical stories are developed in rich detail; in other examples, like 'vulture capitalist', they may merely be referenced or implied. This book argues that close attention to metaphorical stories and story metaphors enriches our understanding and is essential to any theory of communication. The book introduces a theoretical structure, which is developed into a theory of metaphorical stories and then illustrates the theory by applying it to actual discourse.
