About this book

The communicative act of drawing attention to metaphor is a relatively recent topic in metaphor studies and one that has remained contentious from a cognitive perspective. This book brings philologists of ancient languages together with metaphor experts from several modalities to interrogate whether ancient and modern texts and languages draw attention to figurative tropes in similar ways. In this way, the diachronic, multimodal and pluridisciplinary contributions to this volume critically review the theoretical frameworks underpinning metaphor marking and metaphor analysis from a completely new empirical basis.

Reviews

Ning Ye, Zhejiang Police College, Hangzhou, China, in Journal of Pragmatics 173 (2021):
Overall, this volume is a very solid and highly structured text, edited and presented in a clear and systematic manner. Given its innovative and rich content, the book will serve as an excellent reference for scholars and researchers in metaphor studies who seek to keep themselves up to date on the latest developments in the field.
