metaphorical concepts, metaphor analysis, cognitive linguistic, qualitative interpretationAbstract
LAKOFF and JOHNSON argue that common metaphorical words imply cognitive models, which they call "metaphorical concepts." They extend the definition of metaphor beyond classical definitions. Metaphorical concepts grasp patterns of meaning and methods of metaphor analysis have been derived from this approach as tools for interpreting qualitative data. The book reviewed was the first publication of the so-called "cognitive linguistic" school. It can still be strongly recommended for qualitative researchers today, although some definitions have changed. URN: urn:nbn:de:0114-fqs0402190Downloads
