Springing from a symposium at the University of Heidelberg, this volume is comprised of papers by lecturers, doctoral students, and graduates. The editors and contributors present a plurality
of perspectives and techniques vis-à-vis current cognitive-linguistic study of metaphor and metonymy. They illustrate several strands that have evolved over the last three decades including
conceptual metaphor/metonymy and discourse and sub-discourse metaphors that illustrate the wide range of domains and topics to which metaphor-and-metonymy-based research can be applied. There
are 17 essays, some of which are: metaphor and metonymy in the conceptual system; corpus-based analysis of conceptual metaphors of HAPPINESS in Russian and English; the metaphor of the “body
politic” across languages and cultures; the concept of the STATE in Hungarian political discourse; metaphors on the territorial changes of post-Trianon Hungary; cognitive metaphor and the “Arab
Spring”; the conception of diseases in the persuasive sections of Hungarian medical recipes from the 16th and 17th centuries. There are references, figures, and tables. There is no index.
