• Sommario/riassunto: Metaphor is a topical issue across a number of disciplines, wherever researchers are concerned with how speakers and writers package and process messages. This book is addressed at readers from diverse academic backgrounds who are interested in ways of researching metaphor from different perspectives, and especially through corpus linguistics. A number of approaches to and exploitations of metaphor, including conceptual metaphor theory and cognitive approaches more generally, text and spoken discourse analysis, and CDA, are discussed, explored and critiqued using corpus data. The book also includes corpus linguistic studies of different aspects of metaphor, which investigate its linguistic and semantic properties and relate them to current theoretical views. The book demonstrates the need for naturally-occurring language data to be used in the development of metaphor theory, and shows the value of corpus data and techniques in this work.

• Sommario/riassunto: Die Covid-19-Krise hat bereits bestehende soziale Ungleichheiten in verschiedenen Bereichen verschärft. Die Autor*innen untersuchen, wie grundlegend und nachhaltig die sozialen Veränderungen im Zuge der Corona-Pandemie auf den gesellschaftlichen Ebenen Arbeit, Sorgearbeit und staatliche Regulierung in ihren geschlechtsspezifischen Dimensionen sind. The Covid-19 crisis has intensified already existing social inequalities in different spheres. The authors examine how fundamental and sustainable the social changes over the course of the corona pandemic are at the social levels of labour, care work and state regulation in their gender dimensions.
