Title: Metaphor and the Logic of Language Use
Description: The study of metaphor is as old as Aristotle, the philosopher who coined the term. And while the amount of academic writing on this topic has reached mind-boggling proportions today, very few frameworks for understanding its interior functioning and its cognitive nature are currently being used by scholars in a consistent fashion. This in-depth study by Alan Bailin provides one framework that will, in my view, go a long way towards systematizing the study of this elusive phenomenon.--Marcel Danesi, Editor of Semiotica
