This book investigates the interaction between new English lexis and metaphor/metonymy - figures meticulously defined and contrasted in terms of similarity/contiguity. It advances three main hypotheses: (i) derived lexis is more likely to be figurati...Lasīt vairāk

Although major cognitively based studies of SPACE and TIME in language have appeared in terms of "e;Frames of Reference"e;, these do not extend to a wide selection of the worlds languages, nor do they combine SPACE and TIME in the overarchin...Lasīt vairāk

In recent years, the study of the conceptualization of time has seen a considerable growth, providing a basis for exploring the cognitive foundation of metaphor. But if metaphorical representations of time are established in the cognitive system, how...Lasīt vairāk

Within cognitive and functional approaches to language structure and grammaticality, analogy and contrast represent two fundamental human cognitive capacities, which, up to now, have mostly been examined separately. This volume seeks to bridge that g...Lasīt vairāk

Are collocations problems or solutions to problems? If you take the perspective of the foreign learner, as in traditional phraseology, they are certainly challenging, and they have therefore been categorized as arbitrary, or even defective, deviation...Lasīt vairāk
