Through careful analyses of metaphors actually used in science texts, recordings, and videos, this book explores the essential functions of conceptual metaphor in the conduct of science, teaching of science, and how scientific ideas are promoted and popularized. With an accessible introduction to theory and method this book prepares scientists, science teachers, and science writers to take advantage of recent shifts in metaphor theories and methods. Metaphor specialists will find theoretical issues explored in studies of bacteriology, cell reproduction, marine biology, physics, brain function and social psychology. We see the degree of conscious or intentional use of metaphor in shaping our conceptual systems and constraining inferences. Metaphor sources include social structure, embodied experience, abstract or mathematical formulations. The results are sometimes innovative hypotheses and robust conclusions; other times pedagogically useful, if inaccurate, stepping stones or, at worst, misleading fictions"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aFigurative thought and language ;$vVolume 6. 606 $aCommunication in science 606 $aScience$xLanguage 606 $aScience$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aCommunication in science. 615 0$aScience$xLanguage. 615 0$aScience$xStudy and teaching. 676 $a501.4 702 $aBeger$b Anke$f1983- 702 $aSmith$b Thomas H.$f1941- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910727248703321 996 $aHow metaphors guide, teach and popularize science$91766278 997 $aUNINA
