Understanding Metaphor in Literature: An Empirical Approach (Studies in Language & Linguistics)
By Gerard Steen.
Description
This empirical study of how people understand metaphors in literary texts explains how the process of understanding metaphor in literature works and asks why metaphor identification, comprehension and appreciation are special in literary reading. It bridges the gap between empirical approaches to metaphor comprehension in psychology, and textual approaches to metaphor in literary criticism and linguistics. - from Amzon
