{"product_id":"metaphor-9780198242468","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 which 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 considerations 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":"Eva Feder Kittay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43573439332413,"sku":"9780198242468","price":140.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9780198242468.jpg?v=1788522424","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/metaphor-9780198242468","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
