The Metaphoric Process: Connections Between Language and Life by Gemma Corradi F

Description: The Metaphoric Process by Gemma Corradi Fiumara Metaphor is more than just a linguistic phenomena, argues Fiumara. It is in fact the key process by which we construct and develop our ability to understand the world and the people we share it with. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This study argues that metaphor is much more than just a linguistic phenomena, that it is in fact the key process by which we construct and develop our ability to understand the world and the people we share it with. Rationality as understood by philosophers has led to a disembodied view of ourselves in which interaction between life and language has been downplayed. By looking at the metaphoric process - in an interpersonal rather than a formal way - its importance in allowing us access to new worlds of experience is revealed. The metaphoric potential in us all exposes us to the world and initiates our involvement in it.
