{"product_id":"metaphor","title":"Metaphor","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book provides a comprehensive philosophical theory explicating the cognitive contribution of metaphor. Metaphor effects a transference of meaning, not between two terms, but between two structured domains of content, or 'semantic fields'.  Semantic fields, construed as necessary to a theory of word-meaning, provide the contrastive and affinitive relations that govern a term's literal use.  In a metaphoric use, these relations are projected into a second domain\n\u003cbr\u003ewhich is thereby reordered with significant cognitive effects.  The book is a detailed revision and refinement of 'the semantic theory of metaphor'.  Taking into account pragmatic\n\u003cbr\u003econsiderations and recent linguistic and psychological studies, the author forges a new understanding of the relation between metaphoric and literal meaning.  She amply illustrates her thesis with sensitive and systematic analyses of metaphors found in literature, philosophy, science, and everyday language.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44156964176110,"sku":"9780198242468","price":114.32,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780198242468.jpg?v=1706233118","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/metaphor","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
