The results open new perspectives on some of the basic assumptions of the 'classic' cognitive paradigm, e.g. regarding metaphor understanding, linguistic relativity and concept-construction.

    Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a rich and immersive account of the life and work of LuÃs de Camões, the renowned sixteenth-century Portuguese poet, widely considered one of the greatest literary figures of all time. The author delves into the historical and cultural context of Camões' life, exploring the complex social and political landscape of Renaissance Portugal. Through a close examination of Camões' masterpiece, "The Lusiads," the book illuminates its literary significance and enduring themes. It highlights the patriotic fervor and national pride that inspired Camões, as well as his profound exploration of human nature, the search for glory, and the bittersweet interplay between triumph and tragedy. Furthermore, the book explores the challenges and tribulations Camões faced throughout his life. Despite his literary genius, he endured poverty, exile, and physical suffering. Through these hardships, he emerged as a resilient and compassionate figure, whose work continues to resonate with readers today. In presenting the life and work of Camões, the book invites readers to consider the enduring power of literature to transcend adversity and inspire generations. It sheds light on the enduring human desire for recognition and the profound impact of art in shaping our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Its case-studies, which combine methods of cognitive metaphor theory with those of corpus-based and discourse-oriented research, cover contact linguistic and cultural contacts between Chinese, English including Translational English and Aboriginal English, Greek, Kabyle, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, and Spanish.Part I introduces readers to practical and methodological problems of the intercultural transfer of metaphor through empirical (corpus-based and experimental) studies of translators' experiences and strategies in dealing with figurative language in a variety of contexts. Part II explores the universality-relativity dimension of cross- and intercultural metaphor on the basis of empirical data from various European and non-European cultures.

    Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Metaphor and Intercultural Communication examines in detail the dynamics of metaphor in interlingual contact, translation and globalization processes. Its case-studies, which combine methods of cognitive metaphor theory with those of corpus-based and discourse-oriented research, cover contact linguistic and cultural contacts between Chinese, English including Translational English and Aboriginal English, Greek, Kabyle, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, and Spanish.Part I introduces readers to practical and methodological problems of the intercultural transfer of metaphor through empirical (corpus-based and experimental) studies of translators' experiences and strategies in dealing with figurative language in a variety of contexts. Part II explores the universality-relativity dimension of cross- and intercultural metaphor on the basis of empirical data from various European and non-European cultures. Part III investigates the socio-economic and political consequences of figurative language use through case studies of communication between aboriginal and mainstream cultures, in the media, in political discourse and gender-related discourses. Special attention is paid to cases of miscommunication and of deliberate re- and counter-conceptualisation of cliches from one culture into another. The results open new perspectives on some of the basic assumptions of the classic' cognitive paradigm, e.g. regarding metaphor understanding, linguistic relativity and concept-construction.
