Frontmatter -- Contents -- Introduction -- Section I: Theoretical and methodological reflections on metaphorical conceptualizations -- Extended conceptual metaphor theory: the cognition-context interface -- Critical reflections on the use of corpora for cross-varietal metaphor research -- Section II: Cultural metaphorical conceptualizations -- Indexicalization and lexicalization of event-based time intervals in Huni Kuĩ, Awetý, and Kamaiurá -- Resemblance metaphor and metonymy in the ethnozoological lexicon of the Amazonian language Aguaruna -- Metaphorical and cultural conceptualizations in Guyanese newspaper English: novel insights and methodological approaches -- Section III: Cross-cultural metaphorical conceptualizations -- The ‘Olympic Spirit’ from a cross-cultural perspective: a cognitive-pragmatic analysis -- Metaphor, emotion, and intralinguistic cultural variation: metaphors of anger in European and Brazilian Portuguese -- Prototypical and metaphorical uses for locative deixis in Brazilian Portuguese and American English: a verbo-gestural data analysis -- Of wars and vengeance goddesses: metaphorical conceptualizations of Sars-CoV-2 -- Section IV: Intercultural metaphorical conceptualizations -- Conceptual fluency and meaning negotiation in the German as a Foreign Language classroom: a multimodal analysis of teacher-student interactions -- How interculture is built on the common ground of alterity experience: a cognitivemultimodal approach to talk-in-interaction -- Index
Summary: The book deals with the important shift that has been heralded in cognitive linguistics from mere universal matters to cultural and situational variation. The discussions examine cognitive and cultural linguistics’ theories in relation to the following areas of research: (i) metaphorical conceptualization; (ii) the influence of culture on metaphor, metonymy and conceptual blends; (iii) the impact of culture and cognition on metaphorical lexis; (iv) the interface of pragmatics and cognition when metaphor is studied in situ, that is, in face-to-face as well as in virtual multimodal interaction; (v) the application of insights from metaphorical conceptualizations to language teaching, and (vi) recent methods for revealing (inter)cultural metaphorical conceptualizations (corpus-based approaches, gesture studies, etc.). The book brings together cognitive, functional, and (inter)cultural approaches.
