Particular emphasis is placed on the works of George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, but other cognitivists are also taken into consideration. Verena Haser proposes a new approach to the distinction between metaphor and metonymy, which contrasts with familiar cognitivist models, but also builds on some insights gained in cognitivist research. She also offers an account of metaphorical transfer which dispenses with the notion of conceptual metaphors in the sense of Lakoff and Johnson. She argues that conceptual metaphors are not a useful construct for explaining metaphorical transfer, and that the clustering of metaphorical expressions is better accounted for in terms of family resemblances between metaphorical expressions. Another major goal of this work is a reassessment of the relationship between experientialism and traditional Western philosophy (often subsumed under the vague term "objectivism"). This book contrasts with most other critical approaches to experientialism by providing close readings of key passages from the works of Lakoff and Johnson, which enables the author to pinpoint theory-internal inconsistencies and other shortcomings not noted in previous publications. This book will be relevant to students and scholars interested in semantics and cognitive linguistics, and also in psychology and philosophy of language. 410 0$aTopics in English linguistics ;$v49. 606 $aSemantics$xPsychological aspects 606 $aCognitive grammar 606 $aMetaphor 606 $aMetonyms 610 $aCognitive linguistics. 610 $aMetaphor. 610 $aSemantics. 615 0$aSemantics$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aCognitive grammar. 615 0$aMetaphor. 615 0$aMetonyms. 676 $a401/.43 686 $aET 425$2rvk 700 $aHaser$b Verena$f1973-$01596086 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820488003321 996 $aMetaphor, metonymy, and experientialist philosophy$93917289 997 $aUNINA
