Reviews

The issues of metaphor and conceptualisation are excellently addressed and defined in every chapter of this book, giving the volume good coherence overall and allowing the reader to follow the trains of thought easily. An advantage of the book is that most papers are sufficiently accessible and succinct to be readable by a wide audience of both scholars and interested non-scholarly readers ... In all, the book presents a great collection of studies of metaphor and conceptualisation with implications for intercultural research. -- Mario Bisiada, Universitat Pompeu Fabra LINGUIST

The collection ... distinguishes itself by making a new effort to meet the challenge of investigating intercultural communication from the angle of metaphor by offering new theoretical concepts and new methodologies for analyzing metaphor in discourse ... Both students and professionals in the fields of metaphor studies and intercultural research could benefit from reading this volume. * Metaphor and Symbol * The issues of metaphor and conceptualisation are excellently addressed and defined in every chapter of this book, giving the volume good coherence overall and allowing the reader to follow the trains of thought easily.
