About this book

A provoking new approach to how we understand metaphors thoroughly comparing and contrasting the claims made by relevance theorists and cognitive linguists. The resulting hybrid theory shows the complementarity of many positions as well as the need and possibility of achieving a broader and more realistic theory of our understanding.

Reviews

' Tendahl's work is full of merit and should be considered a major step in reconciling positions between apparently divergent but actually complementary theoretical frameworks.' -Metaphor and Symbol
