Beschreibung
This collection of papers focuses on the role of context in the production and comprehension of metaphors in political discourse and the conceptualization of emotions. Two corpus-based studies offer conceptual models of individual words. It also offers cognitive linguistic analyses of passive voice, aspect and phonological categories.
This collection of papers addresses new trends in Cognitive Linguistics. Three parts of the book focus on Conceptual Metaphor Theory and Integration Network Analysis. Both the theoretical contributions and the empirical case studies stress the importance of contextual factors in the meaning making processes. They employ qualitative methods to analyze the use of metaphor in political discourse and in the conceptualization of emotions. The data sets include multimodal data, sign languages and co-speech gestures. The fourth part of the book contains two corpus-based studies. The fifth part concentrates on the grammatical categories of passive voice and aspect. One contribution discusses the problem of categorization in phonology.
