Researching and Applying Metaphor in the Real World
Edited by Graham Low, Zazie Todd, Alice Deignan and Lynne Cameron
It has become increasingly clear that metaphor needs to be explored in terms of the social and discourse context in which it is used, especially where the aim is to address real-world problems. The notion of 'real world' metaphor research has been developed to describe this important area of… read more[Human Cognitive Processing, 26] 2010. xii, 385 pp.

Metaphor is a topical issue across a number of disciplines, wherever researchers are concerned with how speakers and writers package and process messages.

2022 Metaphors and meaning-making in young people’s talk about climate change Dynamism in Metaphor and Beyond, Colston, Herbert L., Teenie Matlock and Gerard J. Steen (eds.), pp. 191–204 | Chapter
Climate change is of especial relevance to young people, yet studies have found that there is no consistent approach to teaching about it in terms of either scientific facts or societal implications. In the UK, it is taught in different elements of the curriculum, but as knowledge to be tested,… read more
2015 MIP, the corpus and dictionaries: What makes for the best metaphor analysis? Metaphor and the Social World 5:1, pp. 145–154 | Article
MacArthur questions the use of the “Macmillan Dictionary” in metaphor identification. In this response, I argue that the ideal way of determining basic meaning is by analysis of concordance citations sampled from an appropriate corpus. This is demonstrated using a 1000 word sample of the… read more

This paper presents an analysis of metaphors for punishment in policy discourse

2010 18. The evaluative properties of metaphors Researching and Applying Metaphor in the Real World, Low, Graham, Zazie Todd, Alice Deignan and Lynne Cameron (eds.), pp. 357–374 | Article
It has been asserted by a number of writers from a range of disciplines that metaphors have evaluative and persuasive properties. In the Conceptual Metaphor Theory literature, it is widely agreed that metaphor is evaluative, persuasive and therefore potentially ideological. Outside the cognitive… read more

2007 “Image” metaphors and connotations in everyday language Annual Review of Cognitive Linguistics: Volume 5, Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez, Francisco José (ed.), pp. 173–192 | Article
In this paper, I argue that the general notion of an image metaphor, which has been traditionally confined to so-called “one-shot metaphors”, as used in literary and poetic language, could be expanded to describe many expressions that are found in everyday language. Following Caballero (2003a), I… read more
Children’s ability to interpret metaphorical polysemy in educational materials Metaphor and the Social World: Online-First Articles | Article
Metaphor is used as a tool for communicating specialist knowledge to non-specialists in popular discourse and in educational contexts. Research has explored its use in higher education, but less is known about its efficacy with learners of school age. Experimental research has shown that very… read more
