It argues against the nostrum that cognition is independent of language and based on universal bodily experience. It gives new weight to the European tradition of the philosophy of language, for example Humboldt. And it investigates the historical construction of ideologies in languages other than English by its analysis of metaphors in Czech communism, German Nazism and French resistance against English. Underhill's book is simultaneously a breath of fresh air and a rich source of stimulating insights, advancing and giving emphasis to new perspectives in critical metaphor analysis. -- Professor Andrew Goatly, Lingnan University, Hong Kong This book distinguishes itself from much recent work in cognitive metaphor studies in a number of important ways.
