Description

An overview and critique of conceptual metaphor theory. Conceptual metaphor theory takes a cognitive view of metaphor, and, when it first emerged in the 1980's, offered a striking new way of understanding metaphor. More recently, scholars have been trying to bring language and discourse back into the picture, combining this with important cognitive developments in, and beyond, metaphor theory.
