Table of ContentsReviewsPraise for the The Thesaurus of Traditional English Metaphors : 'This book is a fascinating work and a great scholarly achievement. It is well worth browsing individual (sub-) sections, and there are interesting surprising and often amusing discoveries to make. This book should find its place in many academic and reference libraries, and will be of interest for all those with an interest in cultural history, dialectology, folklore, English literature, language and linguistics.' -- www.linguistlist.org Author InformationDick Wilkinson is a retired forestry Commission worker who studied Classics, Old English and Old Norse at Cambridge University. Struck by how many words and phrases in English acquired their present meanings through metaphor, he started to note them down. The Thesaurus is the culmination of a lifetime’s study of the English language. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
