The Routledge Handbook of Metaphor and Language

"The Routledge Handbook of Metaphor and Language provides a comprehensive and authoritative overview of interdisciplinary knowledge of metaphor. Bringing together work from a wide range of reputed scholars of metaphor it displays a well-conceived balance between theory, methodology and application. As well as offering practical insights into the methodology of metaphor researchers it is testimony to the continuing fascination that metaphor holds for those interested in exploring the complex relationship between language, cognition and the role of language in the construction of the social world."
Jonathan Charteris-Black, University of the West of England, UK

"For technical communicators who have an interest in language and how it works, this Handbook would be a valuable asset. ... Students, in technical communication classes and other language classes, as well as their faculty, will also find value in the Handbook."
Tom Warren, Oklahoma State Universtiy, USA
