{"product_id":"9780198242468","title":"Metaphor","description":"This book provides a comprehensive philosophical theory explicating the cognitive contribution of metaphor. Metaphor effects a transference of meaning, not between two terms, but between two structured domains of content, or \"semantic fields\". Semantic fields, construed as necessary to a theory of word-meaning, provide the contrastive and affinitive relations that govern a term's literal use. In a metaphoric use, these relations are projected into a second domain which is thereby reordered with significant cognitive effects. The book  is a detailed revision and refinement of \"the semantic theory of metaphor\". Taking into account pragmatic considerations and recent linguistic and psychological studies, the author forges a new understanding of the relation between metaphoric and literal meaning. She illustrates her thesis with systematic analyses of metaphors found in literature, philosophy, science, and everyday language.","brand":"Eva Feder Kittay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45741932020030,"sku":"9780198242468","price":3094.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780198242468.jpg?v=1707222422","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780198242468","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
