Metaphor is a fascinating phenomenon, but it is also complex and multi-faceted, varying in how it is manifested in different modes of expression, languages, cultures, or time-scales. How then can we reliably identify metaphors in different contexts? How does the language or culture of speakers and hearers affect the way metaphors are produced or interpreted? Are the methods employed to explore metaphors in one context applicable in others? The sixteen chapters that make up this volume offer not only detailed studies of the situated use of metaphor in language, gesture, and visuals around the world – providing important insights into the different factors that produce variation – but also careful explication and discussion of the methodological issues that arise when researchers approach metaphor in diverse ‘real world’ contexts. The book constitutes an important contribution to applied metaphor studies, and will prove an invaluable resource for the novice and experienced metaphor researcher alike.

It is timely for researchers to approach metaphor as social and situated, as a matter of language and discourse, and not just as a matter of thought. Over the last twenty five years, scholars have come to appreciate in depth the cognitive, motivated and embodied nature of metaphor, but have tended to background the linguistic form of metaphor and have largely ignored how this connects to its role in the discourses in which our lives are constructed and lived. This book brings language and social dimensions into the picture, offering snapshots of metaphor use in real language and in real lives across the very different cultures of Europe and Brazil and contributing to the theorizing of metaphor in discourse.

This book is a philosophical guide on metaphor use. Previous research concerning metaphors has focused on either the theoretical-linguistic problems or the uses in specific research fields. Although these domains share some common interests, there has been little cross-communication. The aim of this volume is to bridge the gap between the theoretical and the empirical side of the research on metaphor use, by analysing the role of metaphor over different domains of use. Therefore, while adopting a theoretical-philosophical point of view, the volume also presents the interdisciplinary connections between philosophy and other academic areas such as linguistics, cognitive science, discourse analysis, communication studies, didactics, economics, arts and political science.

Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,3, University of Leipzig (Institut für Anglistik), language: English, abstract: Since Hip-Hop became a global phenomenon that frequently produces new celebrities, the question arises whether national varieties of terms of metaphorical conceptions exist and how they are manifested in contemporary artists’ lyrics. In this paper, after an insight into the subculture’s history is gained, it is necessary to clarify what conceptual metaphors are before an analysis and comparison of selected metaphorical conceptions in Rap lyrics by German and British Hip-Hop artists can be accomplished. Finally, this term paper will try to explain possible cross-cultural as well as intra cultural differences. Over the past decades, Hip-Hop and Rap music manifested itself in mainstream music culture up to the point to become the top-selling music genre in the US by 2017, surpassing Rock and Country music (Nielsen). What started with the use of turntables to reduce songs to their percussive elements and combine existing records, merging them to innovative beats, established the most attractive genre of the present-day music industry. This phenomenon can be understood as the result of an ever-changing genre that develops distinct subgenres frequently, which offer a fertile ground for new sounds and lyrical themes. Whether it is the Gangsta-Rap with lyrics focussing on drug abuse and violence, often providing a stereotypical image of gang members or Political Hip Hop that reflects on crucial issues of contemporary society like police brutality and discrimination. Although hip-hop music is often considered to be aggressive by nature, promoting rebellious behaviour, and spoiling youths, an analysis of artists belonging to various genres reveals that critical claims tend to be generalized. Given the circumstances Hip-Hop developed in, and partially still develops, the themes of violence and drug abuse in the songs are fundamental to be authentic representations of the rappers’ lives. Hip-Hop or Rap music, like other forms of poetic expression, provides the possibility to employ several stylistic devices, encoding deeper meanings in often hard sounding verses. One of the most prominent devices found in songs is the metaphor, used to visualize the similarity between two or more objects in order to create a blend that partakes the characteristics of both (Britannica).

How do people understand language in which verbs are used metaphorically? For example, how do people understand utterances such as He bathed in her beauty or She punctured his ego in everyday conversation? The general cognitive processes and discourse strategies described by the interactive attributive model (Ulucksberg & Keysar, 1990; Glucksberg, McGlone, & Manfredi, 1997) are investigated as a possible base for a cogent model of metaphorical verb use. Specifically, the use of the dual reference strategy of using the name of a category instance to name the category itself is investigated for verbs. Experiment 1 investigated factors that influence judgments of metaphoricity. Ratings of metaphors (e.g., The car flew across the intersection) suggest that verbs are interpreted metaphorically when their selection restrictions are violated. For example, the verb to fly normally (literally) takes subjects that are capable of air travel, such as birds or airplanes. When this restriction is violated (e.g., cars or ideas flying), the verb is judged as being used metaphorically. Furthermore, the degree of metaphoricity is a function of the degree of violation. Experiment 2 used a priming paradigm to test whether verbs can be used to make dual reference to either a literal action referent or to a generalized action category referent which it typifies. Different uses of verbs in either metaphorical (e.g., The idea flew) or literal (e.g., The bird flew) contexts, resulted in differential accessibility of action properties. For example. properties relevant to understanding the metaphor, such as flying is fast, are more accessible after metaphors than literal statements. Conversely, properties that are irrelevant to understanding the metaphor, such as flying is air travel, are less accessible after metaphors than literal controls.
